Hi,
First time posting as I need help on speakers. My 4 year old son (God bless him!) has just poked his fingers into the metal tweeters on my Kef Q1's and from what I have read, getting the dents out is likely to be a non starter.
I have had the Q1's for a few years now and I love the detail but find them just a little bit harsh when I use them with the recently purchased Teac 300, particularly at higher volumes. They were wall mounted (to keep out of the way of my son) but I moved them back onto stands when I got the Teac to dampen down the harshness.
I guess that realistically the replacements may have to be wall mounted so I am after any advice on what would be well matched with the Teac. Budget is probably up to a maximum of £350 although I'd need a compelling reason to spend that much. I've seen reviews of the B&W 685 and the Mordaunt Short Mezzo 2, both of which sound good and, at a cheaper price range the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's. I have a pair of Wharfedale 9's in my kitchen which sound good coupled with a Denon DM37 but I want a bigger sound for my front room.
Auditioning is tricky as there appears to be nowhere much in my area that will offer it, although Richer Sounds offer a 14 day return policy and are happy for me to take speakers home to try.
I listen to all kinds of music, mainly on CD or via ipod input.
Any help and advice very much appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
