Hi everyone, first post here. I'm currently doing a snowboard season in Chamonix at the moment and will be arriving back home in 4 weeks time... Doom & gloom await no doubt. Whilst i've been out here I have tried to save every penny i've earnt for my new setup when I get home. In the hopeful event that I get a job when I go home I will be spending my savings as soon as I have finished demos of possible kit. So here is what i'm thinking...
First off my current setup consists of Cambridge Audio 540A V2 & 540C V2 (which I plan on keeping because I like them, unless the new speakers aren't too fond on them), and my current speakers are JBL E80 Northridge Floorstanders. The speakers in my mind are a bit of a weak link for me, mainly because I think my room isn't right for them (It's 12'3" x 8'8"), being a bit too small. Now I do like the power of these speakers but I feel the sound, especially the bass, is a bit muddy. I feel as though they are lacking a bit of clarity. I listen to all types of music but mainly Metal/Rock, Electronic, Folk. I really am looking for timing, clarity, punch and depth to my speakers.
I've been looking into getting a new TV and A/V system including speakers too. So where I am at the moment is the B&W 685 home cinema package and the new Onkyo TX-SR607 AV Receiver.
I'm hoping for my music listening the B&W 685 Speakers sitting on Partington Super Dreadnought Stands combined with B&W ASW608 Sub will be just what i'mm looking for. I'm also hoping the Cambridge Audio setup will do them justice.
So what do you all think? I will be having a demo of the kit before I buy, I just wanted to be prepared with as much info as possible.
Many thanks.
