I've got an old, but still very nice to listen to separates system. I've noticed the rubber in the speakers that hold the actual central bit to the "frame" is beginning to perish and I've been told it can't really be fixed. Is this true? They still sound good - do they indeed need replacing?
I'm going to get a new TV - probably a Sony something (think the new editions are all 3d now?), and I want to run it through my hifi as the folks in the shop say hifi sound is better than tv sound. This should save me buying a digital radio as I can get the channels off the tv and shunt it through the hifi. So I therefore maybe need to get a new set of speakers, and here's the question.
My current speakers are Heybrook HB1, bought in 1986. Mid budget (£150 IIRC), but I've loved them. Good enough for my ears so I don't need the top of the range stuff. What is the modern day equivalent of these guys? Oh, music taste tends to be classical or heavy rock.
I've still got my Cyrus I amp going strong so don't think that needs changing. Guess i just won't benefit from the full sound surround as I've got outputs from the Cyrus for L & R speakers only.
I'm not a techie as you can guess, but do enjoy the tingle I get when I listen to stuff on the hifi. So please cn you help me in non-techie words?
Many thanks
