Hi everyone. I am new here and would be grateful for your views and advice.
I have Thorens td150 with ortofon 2m blue, a marantz pm4001 amp, and Accoustic Research 22 bx speakers professionally refoamed by previous owner 10 yrs ago.
It all sounds pretty balanced to me although a bit base light at times at low volume.
I think I should invest in some new speakers. I won't be changing the turntable as it was a gift from my wife so it's a keeper. The amp seems good hence my focus on the speakers.
And that's where I get lost. I listen to jazz, blues and rock.
Could you please offer any advice about the speakers you think would work well with my TT and amp. I don't want to spend tons of money so would put £500 as my budget. I would like to stay with stand mounting speakers.
Also if I did this, would it give me a noticeable improvement in sound?
Thank you in advance for your help with this.
