Hi
I'm thinking it's about time to start upgrading my hifi. Luckily her indoors has decided she wants to totally redecorate and refurnish the lounge and has decided that my piano black Quads won't fit in with her idea's and they need to changing to piano white ones *biggrin*
I've got a budget of around 1k for the speakers and I've been looking at all the usual contenders like Kef R300, LS50's, B&W CM5 s2, MA Gold 50 etc. to go with the Audiolab's to start with but hopefully early next year I will be upgrading the amplifier as well and had the Yamaha AS1100/2100 in mind. Mainly because they are just hifi porn *good*.
However noseying through eBay as you do and came across a dealer selling the Yamaha NS-B951's for less than half price. I can't find any reviews or owners opinions anywhere on the web for these.
I'm assuming they would go nicely with the Yamaha amps but what about with the Audiolabs? Has anybody any experience with these speakers? If I do go with them I'm going to have to buy blind as I can't get to audition so all info very much appreciated.
Cheers
Lee
