speakers for old version Musical Fidelity A1

[admin_exported]

title says it all - the elderly Mission 70s are knackered and I never liked them much anyway, I need new speakers ... for shelf mounting I guess..

sold the LP12 years ago and the speaker stands are in the loft so now just a Project tt plus mid range cd player and the high temperature A1...

am wondering about AE Aegis Twos (perhaps a bit big) or AE Neo 1 or Mordaunt Short 902i or Wharfedale 9.1

probably going to buy at cheap n cheerful Richer Sounds - I'm so out of the hi fi loop I dont know if the £100-£150 speakers at Richers are any good - not that they have AE anyway

and more important which will sound ok with my 20 year old A1?

I've used ms speakers with musical fidelity and they sound very good.

Proacs would mix quite nicely with that amp I think. I think the Studio 100s would be good.

thanks for replies - but Igglebert, correct me if I'm wrong, the ProAcs are £1000 - which is somewhat out of budget!

no votes for Acoustic Energy ?

My apologies, I thought they were cheaper than that. Well, maybe find a used pair. For that amp you need some efficient speakers so look for something in the order of 90dB/W/m when creating an audition list.

At that price point I would be looking along the line of Q acoustic although I have to mention the amp could be partner with £800 speakers without sound of of class.

Acoustic Energy AE1 would sound very good with the amp but at cost.
