Hi one and all,
I am seeking advice, perhaps someone on this forum could help? I have an old Sanyo DC6100K 4 channel system that I am quite content with. It might not be the best system, but, as I say, I am quite satisfied with it. My problem is that the speakers are too large. What problems will I encounter if I try to replace them with smaller, bookshelf-type speakers?
Also, I am not terribly familiar with upper end hi fi gear these days, and have been looking a various sites regarding speaker performance. Needless to say, there is a lot to digest and I am really not any wiser. I am hoping to be able to afford middle of the road speakers and have been looking at Bose, B&W, Dali, PolkAudio and similar, aiming to keep costs down to around $1500. (for 4) Is this realistic?
I suppose the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and ultimately I need to listen to them, but if the source is a modern digital amp, is it a good guide?
Finally, I have a wide taste in music, from classical and folk/accoustic through to harder edge rock.
So, there's the challenge, any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Stephen.
