Best Speakers to go with Cambridge Audio 640A Amplifier?

[admin_exported]

I have bought the Cambridge Audio 640A Amplifier.

Naturally I need some speakers - what do you recommend? I listen to all types of music from Classical (Bach and John Williams) to Metal such as Symphony X and Metallic. I also listen to a LOT of guitar-based music (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngiwe Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert etc).

I have narrowed it down to the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's or the Mordaunt Short Avant 902i's.

Which of these would be better suited to the 640A and my all-round music taste. (And which is generally better quality).

And if you know of any other speakers sub-£200 that would be better please let me know!!!

Thanks very much - any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Is that the V2?

If I remember correctly, it sounds quite smooth and a little bright. I would definitely recommend the Wharfedale over Mordaunt Short.

Any guitar music will benefit greatly from the warm lower-midrange voicing of the Wharfedale.

For the price, you just can't beat it.

Hope this helps.
