Looking for new standmount speakers up to £300. Anything else I should be looking at apart from Monitor Audio BX2's?
A few points to consider:
1) As it's quite a small room they'll be positioned pretty close to the wall (but not in corners) on a pair of Atacama stands.
2) I like a prominent midrange with nice smooth vocals.
3) I don't like harshness at the top end and I can't stand sibilance.
4) I don't go for a particularly bright lively sound, prefer things a bit more laid back these days (must be my age).
5) I like the bass to be there but not overwhelming.
6) The amp they're going to be connected to is academic as I'm looking to replace that within next 6 months. Probably be looking for advice on that as well soon, roughly same price range.
Obviously I will go out and audition some speakers, just looking for a few pointers in the right direction. Or for that matter anything I should particularly avoid bearing in mind my likes/dislikes above.
Thank you
