Hello everyone,
I need help in choosing a new system (amp and speakers). Hope I'm in the right spot
I'll be moving into a new house soon and I intend to replace my old hi-fi system as well. Right now my listening room is 6,5m by 4,5m and the amp and speakers i use are B&O Beomaster 4400 and Beovox M100-2. They are very good to my ears, very powerful, which is fine, but the problem is they are also big, a bit too big for the room and for the fact that I'm only having parties twice a year (when they come in handy for party music). The current system is also very old which comes with its limitations (non-existent digital inputs)...
The new living room will be slighty bigger in size 6,5m by 8,5m due to an open kitchen.
I would like something smaller, a compact floorstander or a medium standmounter and price range 1000£ for the whole system (+/- 150£).
Was looking at Dali Zensor 3 in combo with Marantz PM6005, but not sure if that's what i need.
Maybe the B&W 683 S2 or Dali Option 6 speaker sets would be a better choice? I wouldn't mind staying with B&O, but maybe moving into their active range. Also the new era of wireless speakers seems like a good way to go (less wire clutter, active speakers, bluetooth convenience).
I let you guys come up with recommendations as you have more experience.
I'm listening to Jazz a lot, Electro, Rock, Trip Hop, Progressive, Ska and some Hip Hop, a very broad range of styles, so what I need is a good allrounder. And as a source there is a Rega RP1 PP, computer and Spotify.
Thanks a lot,
Victor
