My main system is getting a little long in the tooth - not in itself the problem, as my dad's old Quad FM3/33/303 into Celestion Ditton 25s still sounds the business! No, I'm just feeling I want more clarity, more depth and definitely more low end and I'd like it without having to push the volume. I'll be buying second hand and will consider options back to mid 90s.
System is:
Roksan Xerxes/XPII/Rega RB300
Arcam Alpha 5
Naim 102/180
Royd Apex
Professionally I've listened to electronic dance music which is usually simple in its demands, but now I'd like a set up that can deliver all sorts of music enjoyably: jazz, rock (not so much heavy/hard/metal), funk, disco, classical.
The speakers look like the place to start. What's going to deliver deeper bass and higher quality? I have a a pair of Epos M16, but these are a bit bright and not a big enough step up. A5 is next in line - this is currently in need of repair but when done will probably be transferred to a junior system. The turntable still sounds great so I'm not planning any changes there except possibly a service. The room is carpeted and a little over 4m square plus a large bay, where the speakers are located in front of ceiling to floor curtains.
