Hello

I think Dali Lektor 2, Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 , Acoustic Energy Aegis Neo 1as bookshelf speakers or Mordaunt Short Avant 914i as floorst,

I've just replaced my dali lektor 1's for monitor audio br2's. What a difference. With respect to the dali's they are super but no bass. The br2's have it all.....

wharfedale 10.1, they will tame the bright sound of the cambridge and sound great

I agree with the suggestion of Wharfdale 10.1s. That will make the whole thing nice and neutral. Depending on preferences you might want to try Monitor Audios, either BR2s or RS1s, the latter has been replaced, so you may find a bargain, the RRP was £400 but I've seen them for £250, bare in mind these speakers will probably not nullify the brightness of the amp. You could be logical and go for Mordaunt Short to partner CA, in which case the Aviano 1 would be a good bet. I don't know if £300 is the budget for speakers or for 'speaker solutions' which is why I suggested speakers in the £200-250 mark, and make it up to your budget with good stands, Soundstyle Z2s are £60 I believe from Richer Sounds. In addition I'd get hold of some good speaker cable, probably Chord Co. Silver Screen if you got for the MA, or QED Silver Anniversary if you go for the others.

Unless you go for the MA speakers, everything is available at Richer Sounds, Chord Co. cable isn't, but personally I think QED would be a better match for the others, it's a toss up WRT the Wharfdales, but easier to get it all at RS and it might well be discounted.

I had the CA 640 V2 pairing in the bedroom, and firstly had wharfedale 9.1's, then was given my mates BR2's. I found the MA a bit boomy for my liking, so changed to Epos M5 speakers. I liked them alot.

If I still had the system in my bedroom, I would go with the 10.1's, as the 9.1's sounded lovely and rounded with the CA gear.

Look out for a pair of Epos M5's second hand if you can - these are exceptional for the price you can get them for.
