Hi there,
First post on here so fingers crossed someone can help me out ?
Having bought a Cyrus set up last year ( 8v2 Amp / 6 CD) I have decided it is time to change my speakers. It is a heart wrenching decision as my Mordaunt Short Classic 20's have served me well for almost 20 years now. Even though I still quite like the sound of the speakers I am in no doubt that they have had their day.
Having read endless reviews I have a reall leaning towards the Mordaunt Short mezzo 6's ( maybe I am just being sentimental about my old Mordaunt Short's ). My problem is living in the glasgow area the only place that stocks them is Richer Sounds which means no chance to demo them.
I have demo'd a few others, Rega 5 / B & W 684 / B & W 683 of which the 683's were the best of the bunch.C.D's used for testing were richard Hawley / Guru's jazzmatazz / David Arnold (James Bond Project) / Rhythmstick / Jeff Buckly / Santogold / Ozric Tentacles / Paul Simon / The Hot Spot Soundtrack (John Lee Hooker,Miles Davis) / Judgement Night Soundtrack / Morrissey and Amy Winehouse. As you can see I need something that can shine with a wide variety of music.
I am looking for a speaker that gives a true and faithfull rendition of the music rather than an altered interpretation of it which is the impression I have had of the speakers tested so far.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received ? Does anyone have a similar set up with the Mezzo's ?
My Budget is £1000ish.
Cheers,
