Hi There,
I'm replacing my old hi-fi over the next few months (Garrard GT20, Nad 310 and Hitachi SS850MKII speakers). I read that you should place speakers at the heart of your system and from looking at reviews it seems that some speakers suit certain types of music better than others. Musically I tend towards indie/alternative and dance stuff - often bass heavy, rhythmically complex and lots of synths but I also listen to old Motown, the Doors, Velvet Underground, Kate Bush...
Looking at deals in Richer Sounds I'm torn between standmounts and floorstanders. For the former Wharfedale Diamond 220s or Tannoy Revolution DC6s. The latter is a 3-way split between the Diamond 151s, Mission MX3s or Tannoy Mercury V4s. All come in at between £200 and £250. Do any of these stike you as more suitable than others? The amp is likely to be an Onkyo A-9030 or Yamaha AS500. (CD/Tape deck is a Tascam CC222SL MKII).
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
