I've just obtained a used Cyrus 8 amp, with which I've already fallen in love despite only connecting it to a pair of humble Mission M73s.
I've read as much as I can find online and I've also asked on another forum for advice on used speakers to match this amp but I'm keen to get as many opinions as possible before I buy. Auditioning is more difficult on the used market.
My budget is £250 max, used. The room is about 16'x12' and I can easily keep the speakers away from walls.
I listen to a strange mix of heavily scored classical and indie/rock. My wife (still 18 at heart) listens to a lot of dance. Too much to ask for in one set of speakers?
What I really don't want to do is introduce bass boom. I've had a system like that before and consequently never used it.
I bought a Wharfedale SW150 a while ago to boost a thin, cheap system but I really don't mind saying goodbye to that. Or I could just connect it up and leave it off until my wife needs her bass fix?
I'm open to all opinions, advice and personal experience.
Thanks in advance.
