Speakers

Posted by: speffy on 22 May 2003

hi all
can anyone give me some good advice on speakers.
My room is quite small and my budget is pretty tight.

My sistem is nait5/cd3/naca5 and rega alya speakers, I like the sound of them but I
want more bass. Did anyone have some good advice for me ?

No budget given but you say it's tight! The Alya is a capable speaker so you shouldn't go lower than these suggestions:

Dynaudio Audience 42 on Dynaudio Masterstands (£600 combination). Nice small standmount with great power and good presence. More bass than Alyas even though it's so small.

Dynaudio Audience 52 on Dyn Masterstands (£750ish). Great presence, great pace, big scale, big sound. Sounds a lot buigger than it looks.

Totem Acoustic Arro (£850 - 970 depending on finish). Fabulous fun, big sound without being obvious from a small floorstander. Good combination with Naim.

Naim Intro (£800ish). Better than most in small rooms with its preference to be closer to the wall. Excellent pace, cohesion and drive.

Regards,
Frank.
