Hi, I am looking to upgrade my speakers from Monitor Audio BX2s to something better. In mind, I have two speakers; the GX100s and the B&W CM8s. I will be using an Arcam system; I like the 'laid back', 'put me to sleep' sort of sound that don't attack too much.
I've heard both of these, and both sounded very good to my ear but I can't really decide yet, might have to go for a second demo. I know this is a bit long winded, but I'd like to know others opinions about these two speakers, I am mainly looking for a speaker that can produce an amazing soundstage and image well, but I also want a good strong bass response. Hearing the CM8s did reveal excellent interment separation, but I'm not too sure about anything else, I think it's aesthetics is developing a bias with me leaning towards them but who says speakers shouldn't look good?! =]
I have heard various KEF speakers and a few more, but I have narrowed my search to these two. I may also be interested in PMC's twenty .21 speakers, but I haven't heard them.
Ideally, not looking to spend more than 1k, and I would prefer a floorstander but I feel the GX100 may be a better quality speaker than the same priced floor standers.
I would appreciate some opinions on these speakers.
Thanks.
