And any old music will do…
So I have a dodgy tweeter on a Naim SL2 which are powered by a Naim NAP 300DR (with a 552 Pre) and n-sub.
So I'm wondering should I use this as the catalyst for a speaker upgrade / change?
They have been in situ for 13 years so I really don't know how they sound any more, they just sound like music to me.
I do like the fact that they can go close to a wall but this is not an absolute pre-requisite on their putative replacements.
So what speakers should I be considering ? (and I know I will need a home dem which can limit one but I find some dealers are more receptive than others to facilitating this by courier.)
I do have a wide enough taste in music but percussion done correctly is what will stand out for me. The better drums and percussion sound usually the happier I am.
Certainly if I do decide to try some speakers I would like to try active speakers (i.e. ones with amp in the box) but I have quite a good engine room to run passives obviously as well.
Thanks,
