Re: New Speakers

Well its kind of a case of spending as much as it would take to improve on the sound of my current speakers im reasonably open on this! i probably spent around a £1000 on the original speaker setup as you can tell a while ago so dont know if id need to spend less the same more to improve as technology has advanced! sorry if this isnt clear enough.

Re: New Speakers

Ok thanks ill look in to those and im guessing ill see quite an improvement in sound as mine are 10 years old and were around half the price? Ill read up on both! Thanks

Re: New Speakers

The other speakers i was curious about were the Quads as i loved the finish how do the Tannoys compare to say a set up with the 21l fronts 11l rears ive seen them incredibly cheap and remember them being 5 star speakers a few years back. Thanks

The Walnut finish would be the darkest finish. And yes, the Quads are at very good prices at the moment - you can't really go wrong with either at the savings that are to be had on both of these ranges. Bloody avatar......
