What speakers for Technics Amp?

[Marky59]

I have an Technics System and the Amp is a SU-v460, for a long time I don’t think my current speakers (Mordaunt Short MS10) are up to the task. Any recommendations either similar size as I have speaker stands or floor standing speakers? I quite like the idea of a British company like Mission. Thanks.

1st question people are going to ask is what's your budget and the 2nd should be do you want to upgrade the amp at a later stage and if so what will the budget for that be?

You could go for something like Elac B5.2's or Dali Spektor 2's both of which are great speakers for their price and would work well if you did upgrade the amp at a later stage, my personal prefernce between the 2 is the Elac's and they have some of the original 5's which some argue are better on e-bay at the moment.

Wharfedale 9.1's are more budget and I have those in a desktop situation and have no plans to change them anytime soon but I'm not sure how they'd compare to the ones you already have.

A mate of mine, who now lives in Manchester, so not heard his Technics, uses Mission speakers. No real personal experience of either. Worth exploring though.

Wharfedale Diamond12.3 would be worthwhile investigating if you want floorstanders

Just had the amp serviced and am quite happy with it as it is. Budget is flexible.

Probably book shelf as have speaker stands already
wharfedale diamond 12.2 are good and bang on budget otherwise it's second-hand I would imagine.

12.5ft x 20ft

Get speakers which sound good in your room... this could be any brand/make.

as above, and you will be better off with larger standmounts in that size of room.
please note many so called British speakers aren't....
