Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6

Looking to upgrade my speakers and asking for suggestions. Moved away from 5.1 and looking for 2 channel only. My set up will be

Monitor Audio RX6 in black gloss
OPPO 105,
Rotel RMB 1075

I mostly listen to CD or streaming music and also require speakers to give wide sound stage as use for movies sometimes.

Any recommendations?

How about PSB Synchrony .

Looking to spend no more than $2500 used. Are the speakers the weakest link or does the power amp need changing?

My room is 15 by 15, wood floors and i prefer a warmer sound.

Thanks for advice in advance

I don't think its the speakers or the amp that is making you second guess the sound your getting from your system.

It's using a Marantz Pre-Pro as your pre-amp thats your problem as this is the weak link. It was designed for multi-channel sound decoding and processing. The 2 channel pre-amp section in your Marantz, even in pure direct mode, is merely an afterthought by the manufacturer. You said your moving away from multi-channel and going 2 channel only, right? So get a component designed to do 2 channel stereo - get a true stereo pre-amp!

Good luck brother.
