Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete
After almost a year of living with sub-par speakers, I am finally ready to upgrade my audio system. If anyone could offer me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
I've got an Arcam CD-92 feeding an Audio Refinement Complete integrated amplifier. I'll be moving into a smallish Boston apartment and am looking for a pair of monitors to connect to the ARC.
I like the sweetness of my current system, but both the Arcam and the Audio Refinement are a bit smooth and laid-back. So I'm looking for speakers that have a little bit of energy.
My music taste is primarily indie and classic rock with some electronica mixed in, so the lower octaves are important to m.
My budget is $1500 used. I'm currently considering the following (some of which are going to be a financial stretch....):
B&W N805 or CDM1
JMR Trente
JM Lab 926
GMA Europa
ProAc
Joseph Audio RM7si
Paradigm Signature S2
I have not yet had a chance to listen to any of these models, but will do so over the next four to six weeks. If anyone has some thoughts on the speakers and on their compatibility with the Audio Refinement amp, I would really appreciate it.
