I just broke up with my partner and he took the stereo (leema/vienna audio). So I am going to buy a marantz mcr603 and want a little help in choosing some speakers. I want tower speakers because I don't like the look of the little speakers on metal stands. My room is 27ft x 14ft, I like classical, Jazz, Big Band and 60's 70's music and also a bit of newer stuff.
I have been to my local dealer and listened to: -
New Tannoy V4 (£300) seemed to have something missing.
New Monitor Audio BX5 (£450) these sounded really nice to.
Second hand Rega RS5 (£450) also very nice and the best looking.
So I think it's got to be the MA's or Rega. Just a bit worried about buying s/h, the rega's do have a 90 day warranty and when new were the dearest of all. Could anybody recommend which to buy? Would I be taking a chance buying second hand? Thanks, Heidi.
