Hi all,
As some may remember I used to have a pair of Mission 752 Freedoms with a Sansui amp, but i sold these due to lack of space. I then dabbled in headphone listening and had a Caiman - AKG set up but that didn't do it for me, so I sold that. At the minute i have a Denon UD-M50 (or some-suchmodel number) with Denon speakers and this is ok for the time being.
In the next few months however I will be moving house and will have some more space for a bigger set-up (although not that big). I like the bass extension of floorstanders and prefer the cleaner aethsetics over standmounts on stands. They will have to be placed close (6" max) to the back wall, and the left hand one will be a similar distance from the side wall, and the space between is effectively the width of a 42" plasma. I'm happy to use an amplifier with tone and balance controls to compensate though.
So i'd like to get a compact floorstander, either new or second hand, up to about £1000 but ideally less, with suggestions for a suitable matching amp. Mission 752s would be ideal i suspect, but i would want a pair in mint condition and ideally light oak, which seems rare. I've also thought of the Neat Motive 2.
Looking forward to any suggestions - this will hopefully be one system (when all is said and done) that I'll be happy not to change for many years so I want to do it right.
And finally, it will be used for TV, movies, and music equally, but i have no interest in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.1 or .2 systems!
