upgrading speakers
Posted by: ken gallacher on 01 November 2009
hi all. first post and recent convert to naim.
i have a cd5x with a denon avr 4306 and monitor audio br2 speakers.it sounds great but the spekers are obv the week link and i want to upgrade them to get the most from the system.
the system is used 50/50 for music and av with the priorty on music quality.
as i have the br2 audio packeage i have demod the new monitor rx8s with my amp and cdp along with my mate and his marantz set up and to be honest my set up sounded awful compared to the marantz.it sounded lean and very badly timed with almost no soundstage. at home it still sounds good. i am going to ask for a home demo but should i consider adding a flatcap to my system as well? are these speakers not a good match?
i will eventually replace the amp for something capable of HD sound on the av side but at the moment there is nothing i have heard that i like or matches the denon.
any suggestions or help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks, kenny
