That's not right - but what's wrong?
One quick and easy thing to check is tightening all of the bolts holding the speaker units in the speaker cabinet. Even if it does not solve your problem, the bolts work loose over time and should be checked every year or two and may have loosened...

Best iPad Software for Digital Streamer
Sonos is so easy to use I know how to use it. Highly recommended for those who do not want to learn all about digital hi fi. I use it for background music when I do not want to play a record.

Proac response 2
Simon, I would do exactly as recommended by Atmasphere. Mine had to be shipped and this is probably where they went. It took a while for them to break in after having the surrounds replaced, then they sounded as I remembered them.

A pair of Proac Response 2 sold recently on ebay for under $1,000. I own this speaker and have for a long time. I would recommend you look for a pair on the used market. There are reviews available on line. 
Dynavector 10x5 what is next?
If possible you should see if your local dealer will allow you a loaner for a "test drive" on a cartridge. If you purchased other equipment from them, and they are currently using a model you want as a demo, this should not be a problem. What coun... 
Dynavector 10x5 what is next?
Dynavector Karat 17D3 would be a good pick. I have used it with a Rega 25, Harbeth Compact 7, Quad amp/preamp and thought it sounded great. See below for another recommendation for the 17D3 ($1,150) or XX-2 ($1,950). Retail prices shown for your r...
