I've started wondering whether my Azur 740 CD and amp have more to give than the excellent Mordaunt-Shorts reveal. I suspect that upgrading to speakers in the £500-800 range would bring about even further resolution and detail.
The ATCs look interesting but would my amp be strong enough for them and would they give me a well balanced sound? Am I right to be looking back towards stand mounts or should I stick with floorstanders? I sit about 8 feet from my speakers and they are about 6-7 feet apart. I have a pair of quality Atacama speaker stands for any stand mounts I might buy. I listen to a massive range of music including classical, pop/rock, rock/blues/heavy rock, folk, jazz etc. I like a neutral sound - not too warm and certainly not bright or screachy. I like plenty of attack and pace in the sound as well. I love the Mordaunt-Short sound but want more of the same if its possible. I've decided the Mezzo 6s would just be too large for my room.
I would be grateful for any shortlist suggestions that could work well with my electronics from other forum members and the WHFS&V team.
