Hi everyone!
After 20 years of reading hifi mags I finally bought one - a hi fi that is! though minus the speakers.
Could you recommend some speakers for me?
So I listen mainly to classical - all forms of it. I just bought an old creek CAS4040 and an old Trio turntable which has a newish Goldring cartridge (about £100 worth I was told). I listen to Radio3 via the internet listen again service. I don't have a DAC but I use various freeware to enhance the sound to great effect on some computer sub sat I have lent to me.
The basement room is about 3.5m by 4.5m, some walls more solid than others, floor carpeted, patio window covered with curtains. I can position the speakers anywhere I want, no issues with tidiness etc.
I'm flexible about the sound as long as it's together and musical. If possible excitement and mellow as appropriate for the recording being played. I like what I think remember being said about Rega systems that it's musical and there's not one thing i.e soundstage/ dynamics that captures your attention.
About the budget - I'd be buying used again on that online auction, was planning up to £100 but if it would really make a difference then up to £250. So a mix of suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
