Have recently gotten back into the hifi game again after selling up a few years ago. I am enjoying the current set up but have a large birthday looming and could probably get away with a change of item. Gear listed below:
Quad vena II amp
Project essential II / Ortofon om20 (upgraded)
iPhone/dragonfly red for streaming
Quad 11l speakers
(I used to have Densen/Townsend rock dv10x5/ruark talisman, etc, but let’s not go there).
My gut feeling is that the speakers are probably the most likely candidate for change but will listen to any advice. It’s all in a fairly small room, the ruarks whilst lovely, boomed.
In all honesty I probably miss the scale of a pair of floorstanders but stand mounts fit the room so much better. Having said all that I am listening to Radiohead on vinyl as a I type and it sounds pretty good (as an aside I have just cleaned some records with Turgitol on a knosti cleaner and it worked better than expected).
Any advice appreciated.
