First upgrade Advise

[robg1976]

Hi guys im lloking for my first upgrad...My system is a Nad c352 Amp C521bee cd player and Mission m33i speakers all cables are black rodium I think the weak point is the speakers so i looking to upgrade them...im thinking KEF iq5 or monitor audio BR5 any advise would be great i know they both have good revievs but which would match best with my nad...thanks

Make sure you go for the KEF IQ5SEs rather than the original IQ5 because they are apparently a big improvement. Have you tried the Monitor Audio RS6 which you can get for £480, or are you looking a little cheaper? Personally, I would go for the KEFs because the BR5s are a little more beefier and the NADs need something a little more transparent perhaps.

my deaker only have the KEF iq5 yes they are se.so i can try them but not the br5.... didnt think of the br6 are they much better

I doubt there is little difference between the BR5 and BR6, however an RS (Silver) upgrade would make a difference due to higher quality parts, better design etc. I should think the KEFs would be quite good with that set-up though!
