Hello all
I am looking at upgrading my speakers, a pair of B&W CM1 s to go with my naim cdx (xps) nac102 (hicap flatcap), nap 180.
As much as I like the speakers I feel a "warmer" speaker could improve on too much brightness and too much uncontrolled bass. I don't want a woolly speaker or rolled off highs, I love the detail I am getting with the system. Given the amp's power 2x60w I would like the speaker ought to be easy to drive as well.
I can easily audition Spendor SA1 but would have difficulty in getting hold of Harbeths or Proacs. Has anyone had to compare any combination of the three speakers mentioned in view of the two areas mentioned? I would also like the speaker to be fairly quick, I found the CM1s a bit slow at times.
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Pat
