Which Speaker to go for?
This is slightly unrelated but I'm getting emails saying I've had new replies to this thread but theyre not showing up here. I don't know why but also I'm not ignoring anyone for some reason I may not be able to see your message. 
Which Speaker to go for?
Well the KEF Q950 listing ends in 9 hours, whereas the two monitor audio speakers will be up for longer unless the get sold. I’ve spoken to the owner of the MA GR20 and he has said I can go and listen to it as a demo before buying which I would li... 
Which Speaker to go for?
All of the ones I listed are between £700 and £850 with the Silver 10s being most expensive. I may be able to bring down the prices slightly if I’m lucky. All are in very good condition.I’m not rushing too much as I’ve been watching for some speak...

Ok, I've spent a lot of time looking at speakers and my budget over the weekend. For now I am going to have to go with a more budget friendly speaker but I wholly intend of upgrading in the future and will certainly come back to this thread when t... 
Which Speaker
Yeah I don't intend to buy anything right away and might take a couple weeks anyway if I want to save up an extra bit of money. I definitely think my preference would be to buy new, plus it would come with a warranty and I'm always a little scepti...

@b_limo its coming from a website called peter Tyson. I think they have a few UK based stores although I obviously cannot go to visit, I wonder if they ship internationally though? https://petertyson.co.uk/hifi/bundles-offers thats a link to their...

Monitor Audio sounds good then, I'm having a look into their silver models to see which one would be the best fit. I've narrowed down the other options as well a bit and will continue to do so til i get to a few favourites.

I have looked into this but I dont have 1-1.5k just for speakers. This deal/sale I can get them from is an amp + speaker bundle and saves £100s overall as well as some free good quality speaker cable and 5 year warranty. As an example the Dali Obe... 
Which Speaker
Fair enough, I'll continue with the research and try to cut it down a bit, still if anyone has any experience with the listed or similar speakers I'm interested in what you think of them

I checked for offers with monitor audio and there is the Monitor Audio Bronze 200 and 500 (6th gen) available

Okay based on what all of you’ve said I think I may be able to stretch my budget a little bit, probably only a few hundred pounds extra but it might make a difference. I’ve also found a website which offers massive savings when you buy an amp and ...

Tbh £1000 is quite a lot of money for me to invest into this, I'm aware this is an expensive thing to do and I intend to upgrade as I go along. If you think it is not worth to try on this budget please say I'd prefer to save my money if it will on... 
Better Integrated Amp?
Okay lots of information I worry I might miss some stuff. I’ve been looking at speakers and one that seems to have a lot of positive reviews are Q Acoustics 3050, and I’ve found a website selling them at £330 which is about £200 less than other we... 
Better Integrated Amp?
Okay I will try and find a speaker first and then circle back to an amp which matches it well. Speakers are hard to find out about atm as we are in lockdown I cannot go into any store to listen to them so I’m only going off reviews and peoples opi...

A lot of you seem to agree that the Rega Io is a really good option so I'm having a look into that now. Its power output seems much lower than others at 30W at 8ohms, I'm guessing this isnt an issue given how popular it seems to be, its a similar ...
