Suggestions re speakers for Marantz PM6005 & Pro-ject Debut Carbon (Ortofon red)

[hybridauth_Facebook_100005174288241]

Hello people, I am seeking opinions and suggestions re the above set up. I am currently using Mission M73i's bi-wired as speakers but really do want to upgrade in near future - didn't have the cash at the time of purchases. I know that ultimately it comes down to trusting your ears and personal choices. However as a start I'm interested in others experiences of the above and their speaker choices. The speaker cables are Audioquest FLX Slip 14/4 which did improve the sound. I'm not an audiophile but do like a good sound. Music choice is broad most things A - Z except that cak they call R n B today! Open to all suggestions stand mount vs floorstanders before embarking on demo's and purchase.

Have a good look around for any focal speakers in your price range. I went from mission m35i to focal chorus 826v and couldn't be happier. Fantastic sounding and good looking speakers.

Thanks for your suggestion. Had been looking at their standmounts as they have good reviews and price at moment

I was reading on another site about the merits of the Wharfedale Denton Anniversary standmount speakers that originally retailed at £500 but are available new for half price on Ebay from HiFiCorner Ltd of Edinburgh, a reputable dealer. They are discounted by 50% only because of a very slight flaw in the badge, and come with full warrenty etc. By all accounts they perform exceedingly well, and for the price a real bargain. They come in the Mahogoney finish and look really nice in a retro sort of way.

What sort of budget do you have?

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_100005174288241]

I can spend about £500. Obviously if there is a bargain to be had ie: £250. gets me good stuff at half price then all the better. But - does the same principle apply at £500 as a reduced price? Given the speakers will be better, would the amp and t/t be up to matching the specs? (Power vs ohms/db etc?

It's worth giving the Q Acoustics Concept 20s a listen and , if you can stretch to them, B&W's 685 S2s.

Thank you for your suggestions. Have to say that these look splendid both in terms of looks and features. Definately going to give these a demo. Thanks again.

Yes the amp should be OK as long as the speakers are fairly easy to drive. I would try Dali Zensor 3s, Kef R100s (over budget but may find some around £500). Richer Sounds have some good deals on Tannoys.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't really considered Kef as a choice. Will have a look at them.

Acoustic Energy 301 , an excellent alternative standmounter to the usual suspects,

Thank you to all who made suggestions. I appreciate your time and consideration. There are a couple of surprise suggestions I'd not considered so that's been helpful. I will close this forum now. Once again - thank you.
