Hi all - it's been many years since I last posted here. Went through a period of switching to Sonos throughout house but have rediscovered hifi again. Sold the lot and dug out my old gear which sounds so much better - but now I'm facing a dilemma.
We are reconfiguring our living room (approx 15ft x 11ft) and I'm considering switching from my current bookshelf speakers & sub to floorstanders - both for aesthetics/tidiness and potential of better audio. Current setup (which was mainly purchased 15ish years ago!) is:
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers
Wharfedale SW150 subwoofer
Marantz PM6003 amplifier
Denon DCD-510AE CD player
iFi Zen Blue Bluetooth DAC
I have a hard budget of up to £500 and had been looking at MA Bronze 200 at £449, Mission LX-4 MKII at £399 or Q Acoustics Q3050i at £469; however, Peter Tyson currently have the Monitor Audio 200 Floorstanding Speakers (3G Series) at £229 and 300 at £299. Struggling to find any real info or reviews on these but had been wondering if these are the "old" versions of the 200/300 Bronze or a step down. I have no opportunity to demo and wonder if any would be an improvement over my current setup.
Many thanks for any help.
