Thought I should mention, my local audio store carries 'B&W' not B&K as I said above. But in the price range I was willing to spend, they only had the CM5's and the 683 (?) and some lower models. I though both were a bit bright and with some classical music I was cringing. It could have been their equipment too. They have the reasonable price room (with Nad, rotel, etc driving) and then they have the high end room with some super-pricey tube stuff.
Suggestions/Help?
Looking for suggestions to upgrade speakers ($2000). System:
Amps: B&K St-140 mono blocks
preamp: adcom GfP-750
DAC: adcom GDA-700
turntable: music hall MMF-7
phono amp: musical fidelity
CD player: Marantz SA8260 player
SPeakers: Snell KII
I know it's hard to recommend speakers and everyone says to listen to them. The problem is that I'm in Vermont, and I have one Audio store withing 150 miles with dynaudio, B&K, and Paradigm. I've listend to the Dynaudio Focus 140, but are they wasted on my system? Should other pieces of my system be upgraded first? My Snells sound a bit 'tinny/screechy'. I listen to Jazz, classical and rock on cd/vinyl.
