Hi guys!
I will like to have some advice, I have listened to a few speakers as I do really believe that it is your own ears who tells you wich is the best system, looks obvious but, sometimes we forget about it.
So my listening room is 4 metres long 3.5 high and 5.5 aprox wide, quite a lot of furniture. souds quite good with my current sony str 1040 and monitor audio bx2 5.0. I am looking for a stereo amp as I tried once the cambridge audio dac 100/arcam a19, unfortunately I needed aswell a projector and I choose at the the end to invest the money on this last one.
Now, I recover financially and I have got around 1800 £ to spend. So far I listened to the arcam as mentioned and to the cambridge audio cx60 with sonos connect, spootify and the tannoy 6xtf and the monitor audio silver, my dealer states I should wait to listen to the opticon 6. My findings where this, I was impresed but not sure if I could get something better,the monitor audio sounds a bit por spacious than the tannoys in the mids, and the vocals a bit better aswell but the bass is not engaging is just loud, while the tannoys the bass sounds more compact and tight, I like electronic music in a 60-70 % no hard techno, just house, indie pop-electronic music, type MGMT and that stuff. Ohh, I tried the kefs LS50 and I thought that the vocals where amazing but the bass was not impresive, I like kistening loud but I do not like the BOOM or distorsion a like bass, agile, precise and compact.
I was thinking the rega elex-r, just because is theorically a step up from the cambridge audio, now I will need a dac aswell and speakers acordingly, any suggestion taking in account size of room, music I like, sources and budget?
Many thanks in advance
