ARCAM CD192 / A90 Amp - Floorstanding Speakers to match?

[admin_exported]

Hi,

Can anyone please reccommend any Floorstanding Speakers that would work well with ARCAM's CD192 and A90 Amp?

Thanks,

Stu.

I'd be tempted to try the MA GS20s...

Thanks Igglebert for the quick reply.

I've not auditioned any MA's yet - do you know how these compare with the likes of B&W's 704s OR RUARK Talisman IIIs.

Cheers.

No problem. I haven't heard either of those speakers I'm afraid. I suggested the GS20s because they're floorstanders and bright in sound which would suit the Arcam.

Why not try some stand mount speakers? I have heard the Dynaudio Audience 52s (£600) and Dynaudio Focus 110s (£800). Both were very good, but the latter was superb. They're 173 x 305 x 285 (WxHxL) in size and produce a breathtaking depth of sound that belies their dimensions (in the extreme!). They're hard to drive though at 4ohms / 85dB, but I think the A90 has enough power to do a good job. Worth an afternoon in a hifi shop to try them....

I've not auditioned any senior MA speakers either but i know the B&W 704's match the Arcam amp and CD player very nicely.

What kind of budget are you looking at as i could also recommend the B&W CM7 speakers too. These are fantastic and work very well with the Arcam A90 amp and CD192 CD Player.

B&W seem to have a v good relationship with Arcam seperates. The A90 gives a good tight bass range, good midrange and crisp treble. However as the mag says, the A90 can seem a little vague sometimes, i nearly went for an A90 amp set-up but having had the Arcam Alpha 9 & 10 amps before, i went back to the Alpha 9.

I've got Acoustic Energy AESprit 309 floorstanders currently with my Arcam Alpha 9 amp set up along with my Arcam 9 CD player and theyre fantastic (also for sale... Cheap punt i know haha...)

Like you though i'm looking to go back to B&W speakers for this system.

Hi

I'e got an Arcam FMJ (bi amped with a Primare 30.2) and B&W 804 speakers. They work really well together - very precise, clear and great soundstage. If you can' t stretch to these the newer 6 series appear to be based on the 800 technology and have been getting great reviews.

Hope this helps
