Hi everyone!
Emptied out the attic few months ago with my dad and found his old stereo system (Rega planar 3, NAD 3020, Mission 700 speakers and stands). He started to wax lyrical about the quality of sound and I laughed at him beleiving that 1970s tech was no match for my ipod. Anyway he threw the lot together and put on Dark Side of the Moon... Astonishing.
For a few weeks I have had this set up in my bedroom but unfortunately I am moving out of home to my own place. In my flat there will simply not be the space for the Missions.
I am ideally looking at some far smaller bookshelf speakers that can sit either side of my PC moniter very close to the wall. Sort of Q Acoustics 2020i size? Are these any good for my needs (I listen to a lot of prog/hard/classic rock)? I must emphasize that they will be very close to the wall so I may be looking for something front ported (I think). The full setup will be the planar 3, or my PC through a Beresford Bushmaster, to the NAD 3020 before the speakers.
My budget is around 200 quid and I could go second hand.
Thanks in advance. I listen to music for at least an hour every day so how I ever managed without a decent HiFi system is a mystery now. You certainly have a convert here!
