I have just re set up my old hi fi system in my study and am looking to do a modest upgrade - to the Mission 7601se speakers I think... I have a NAD 7225PE amp powering the stand mounted bi wired Mission speakers, a NAD 5440 CD player and a Rega Planar 3 for the vinyl. I also play digital Apple lossless music from a mac mini via the excellent Dacmagic XS DAC all in a room 5m x 4m with hard floors and limited soft furniture
Whilst the sound is still pleasing and plenty loud enough it lacks 'oomfph' - Mid range and treble seem fine but it is generally acking in the base area. I have a separate TV system with a Dali Zensor 5 surround sound system driven by a Yamaha AV reciever which of course chucks out awesome levels of base and this has probably spolied me somewhat!
Any suggestions as to a sensible upgrade for the speaksers within the £250 bracket? Would the Q Acoustics 2020i or maybe the Monitor Audio Bronze BX2's (2012 hifi awards) really make a difference or maybe I should try swapping them around with the Dala Zensor 1 rear speakers and seeing if those work well with the hifi - maybe even swap them permanetly?
I listen to a wide range of music from Adele to Pink Floyd and Rammstein.
Cheers
