Hi Folks
As requested in the warm welcome messages :-
Old system -
It's yer basic student budget package ..... standard Richer Sounds stuff , from back in the day
..... before they moved up-market
NAD amp , Dual / Ortofon turntable , Aiwa cassette deck and a CD player , all of which are
heading out of the door ( except maybe the cassette deck since I rarely play tapes )
In with the new -
I've recently got hold of a Cambridge Audio amp and have my heart set on a Rega 2
to replace the old Dual / Ortofon turntable .
But I'm in a total quandary about speakers , mainly because I'm so out of touch with today's
hifi market .
Something around a grand in budget ...... Elac ? , KEF LS50 ? , Wharfdale Linton ?
The more reviews that I trawl through , the harder it gets to choose !
My preference would be something floor-standing , but a bookshelf that can deliver the goods
would also be OK .
Trying to audition speakers in local hifi shops always seems to lead to being steered towards
a "better" product ..... ie. one that they stock , and that they are currently pushing hard
Any opinions on the above 3 speakers would be much appreciated , as will any and all
suggestions for alternatives .
Many Thanks to all !
