I would caution the Maggie recommendation, you may not have enough room, but if you can get an at home audition go for it. Hell, if you can get an at home audition try any speaker. Your concern about not wanting to be disappointed is well made. The speakers you have suggested are a good starting point. I'm not too sure where to start. The combination you listed I'm not familar with. I'm familar with other items by said manufactures, but not those specific ones. Sorry! The proacs, audio physics, and totems are nice. You stated you were thinking about the proac 1.5's, what are the models of the other ones. I mean this half heartedly, but, keep the speakers and invest $1200 in a turntable combination. Of course, you would have to add a phonostage, but the fun you would have and the hours of musical enjoyment are worth it. Flame on! Sorry I couldn't help you more. P.S., I too upgrade, or changed, to Maggies from the Spica's, but, alas I like the full scale sound stage.
upgrading from Spica TC60's to ??
I have had the TC60's for a long time, and the TC50's before that. I feel I need to upgrade under the assumption there have been some advancements over the last ten years. Other than that I love my speakers. My electronics are pretty good including a CJ 11A, 70watt amp. I have a small room and am considering a small/medium floor standing speaker. I would like to hear from someone who had these speakers and found something better, not just different.
