I've been feeling that my Viennas are holding back my system and maybe a move to a faster more neutral design would be beneficial. I've read that proacs response series or dynaudios focus series could be a good match. I'd prefer speakers with a sweet balance in the treble, transparent midrange and deep tuneful bass. Would also prefer floorstanders as I have fairly large room. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi malthus80
Some questions (i hope you will not mind) -
What do you generally listen to?
Will anyone else use the system? If so, what are their listening preferences?
Is the room lightly or heavily furnished?
Room shape?
Distance between speakers?
Room positioning of speakers (in relation to walls, anthing in between or either side of the speakers such as window/s, chimney breast, sofa etc.)?
Walls (brick, stone etc.)?
Will the speakers be used down length or across the room?
Room floor (wooden, concrete, carpeted etc.)?
Listening distance?
Will anything be in the way of the speakers?
Have you heard any Proac or Dynaudio speakers? if so, your impressions?
Have you also considered any other makes of speakers?
Your general listening level?
Any plans to also change any of the existing electronics in the near future?
Your budget for the speakers?
All the best
