I am trying to decide between the DALI IKON 2's and the B&W 685's... Would the IKON 2s be worth an extra £100? Are there an other speakers that I should consider in this price range?
The 685s are quite good with the Kandy but I preferred some Proacs but they might be a bit beyond budget. I think the Kandy might prefer some good floorstanders as most of the bookshelves I tried with mine were lacking a bit. Not tried the Dalis though.
Willy, have a chat to audiologica.co.uk and see if he has anything in. I got some ProAc tablette Reference 8 Signatures in Rosewood for £595 brand new (RRP £925). Can't promise he'll have anything but worth a try. He's also a Dali dealer and has ex demos so you can't lose by contacting him, he's called Richard. Got some Dali ikon 6 ex demo for £650 from him too.
I don't know what your budget is but you can get these for £699. They are supposed to be superb and they look beautifully made. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/bookshelf/jamo-c803-bookshelf-speaker-review
