| Need upgrade advice You have a well balanced system. If you want to improve the system you will probably have to upgrade as a system and replace most of your components. Rather than replace any components, explore careful system setup (speaker position, clean connect... | |
| Small Speakers w/ Full Range Sound Consider the Monitor Audio Studio Series. The floor standing Studio 20, 50 or 60 all meet your criteria. They are good looking, easy to drive and sound excellent. | |
| upgrading from Spica TC60's to ?? Do nothing. The TC60s are not the greatest speaker on earth, but they're real good and a tremendous value. You could spend alot of money for a better speaker, but not necessarily get substantially better sound. I'm familiar with the Proac and the ... | |

| Best Subwoofer(s) for SF Guarneri Homage Pretty good system for something just cobbled together. My advice is to only consider a subwoofer after you have completely worked out the main speaker setup. I like REL. Even if I couldn't test listen, I'd buy REL over Velodyne, Carver, etc. Go w... | |
| The Best Speakers for a Small Room Consider the Totem 1. Alternatively consider the Sony SM7a. The Sony gets no respect, but it's a borderline great speaker and a tremendous value. |
