I currently have a set of original Kef eggs being driven by an Onkyo 875. Although the sound is fine for movies, I am frustrated by
the lack of musicality when playing cd's. Now there may be three reasons..
1. using a Denon 1920 DVD player or Panasonic BD35 to play them, or
2. the speakers are not up to the job
3. both.
I have been considering a speaker upgrade for some time, but funds never allowed it. However, enough is enough.
I would appreciate some pointers from 875 owners (or anyone with an opinion) as to likely contenders.
Budget is around £800 and I would be interested in gradual upgrade starting with front 2 or 3 then surrounds and sub later.
I have been advised that maintaining tonality all round would be best, so should consider Kef (have seen but not heard some XQ standmounters which the boss liked the look of).
Any suggestions for a sensible cd player also appreciated.
