Given your situation and tastes, I’d recommend trying the Salk Songtower. He sells direct so it’s good value, and you have 30 days to try them in your home — especially nice in these times. Very consistent positive reviews so high likelihood you’ll be very happy. You could also look at the Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower in the same price range. Your amp should be ok, but these speakers will certainly reward you for any future electronics upgrades. Best of luck.
My Sonic Saga
While back brought B&W CM9s, Peachtree Nova Amp 220 and Nova Pre – preamp.
From the very beginning wasn’t happy with the sound – even though overall the systems sounds alright (maybe) – realized I like bright (tweeters perhaps) and good base as well.
Some point in time the tweeter blew up and had to be replaced – but still never like the sound from the CM9s.
Have now moved into a new house and have a room that is 28x29 and 18 ft ceiling – and (re)considering my options!
Should I add a base, should I replace my speakers – what would you consider as bright speakers
My replacement budget is around $2500 for speakers (used is fine as well).
Music I listen to is Classic Rock – Floyd, zep to AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Jazz (starting to get into it quite a bit), world music (love east and west fusion)
Also looking forward to getting into vinyl at some point – the Peachtree novapre preamplier is good that way – allows me to add quite a few sources – inbuilt dac, etc
Love to hear your thoughts and thanks for your help.
