'Speaker upgrade question

Posted by: Andrew L. Weekes on 23 February 2001

My brother wants to upgrade his speakers, and neither of us have any idea of what he should dem., having lost track of current models etc.

He's using my modified Marantz Cd63 KIS, and a Nait3, with an old pair of Mordaunt Short MS10's.

He likes my Kans, but fancies a little more bass extension, and would probably like to go for floorstanders, he has a large-ish room, so they need to be fairly sensitive for use with the Nait.

Of over-riding importance is they must do PRaT so any suggestions would be gratefully received for models to investigate.

Looking to spend 5-600 UKP.

Thanks all,

Andy.

Ian,

The Royd cabinet finish has long been a criticism.

Are your ones vinyl wrap or wood veneer?

Derrens' were noticeably rough in places when closely examined, but under normal conditions it isn't too noticeable, and the price was right!
