Hi all,
I've currently got a set of MS-814 floorstanders, but the speakers lack brightness, even though there is a damn good level of detail. I normally prefer a brightish sound, and so this is really annoying me.
So I need new speakers. I'm running either an Arcam Alpha 6 CD player or Roksan Radius 5 record player through a cambridge A5 (with a 640p phono amp for the Rok)
Now I know a lot of you will tell me that the A5 is the weakest link here, but the speakers are just not-to-my-taste, so it has to be speakers first.
I reckon I can probably get away with around the £150 mark (I skinted myself last year buying the Rok, and think that the missus will only sign off a small amount this time) plus cash for stands.
I've heard good things about the MS 902is and Wharfdale 9.1s - any suggestions? I listen to everything from Beatles to Radiohead to Borodin except maybe R&B/Country,
