    Cheers for the additional feedback You've both mentioned some options that I've never heard of! Will do some homework. I've been busy watching and seeing what's happening in the second hand market (and maybe waiting for black Friday!). I got chance to listen to a friend of a friend's monitor...

    Replacing floor standing speakers

    Hi All First up, apologies for yet another post with regards to speaker advice for the average Joe. I got into Hifi in my late teens......and was so happy with my first setup I never looked at upgrading it or learning any more! Unfortunately it's the old case of 20 years later I have a family...
