277.0. "Speaker and Stand combo " by NEWOA::SUTCLIFFEJ () Thu May 16 1991 16:34

    
    Hi,
    
    I am looking to upgrade my current speakers (Warfdale 304's). I require 
    a fairly small bookshelf type speaker as the system is currently placed
    in a smallish bed room. I will probably get some stands at the same
    time.
    
    My amplifier is the Pioneer A-400.
    
    
    Anyone recommend a pair of speakers and stands to match my
    requirements. The speakers should be suitable for a larger room and my 
    primary source is from CD.
            
    Price upto 300 pounds for stands and speakers.
    
    
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

277.1	EPOS	COMICS::FLANDERSD	Boogie my speakers away	`Tue May 21 1991 16:37`	7
	The new EPOS speakers at about 300 pounds have been v. well reviewed as a small speaker (ES11 is the model I think) Just a suggestion Dave
277.2	Cheap at � the price	CRATE::WATSON	Blood on the Rooftops	`Wed May 22 1991 09:07`	9
	What about the Royd small speakers. (No. I can't remember the name) These are about �100 say �150 with decent stands. These are very good - reminisant of the old Kans and about the same size. I have heard these being driven by top flight Linn / Naim stuff - though they don't need that sort of front-end. Spend the remaining �150 on CD's relax and enjoy. Rik
277.3	JPW's ?	DUCK::GERRYT		`Thu May 23 1991 14:51`	3
	Also the JPW Sonata Plus is a fine sounder at about 130pounds. Tim
277.4	Cyrus somethings	NEWOA::SUTCLIFFEJ		`Thu May 23 1991 17:30`	15
	Gents, Thanks for the replies. I listened to some Cyrus (Not sure model 170 poundish). Was very impressed. I'll give some more a demo this weekend before the big spend. Regards, Jonathan
277.5	TANNOY E11	ZPOVC::PARRYCHUA	Singapore, Life is bid-$-fine	`Sat Jun 01 1991 11:18`	5
	TANNOY E11, produces superior sound image just like a big speaker but not to put close to wall, a very good bed room speaker. I have no ideal about the price. Bi-wire is recommended. Parry
277.6	<What about Mission speakers?	ESSB::GLACEY		`Sun Jun 02 1991 19:29`	15
	I've just moved by 'old-ish' Mordaunt-Short's MS40's into another room, and had a long listen to some bookshelf speakers. Like you, I had upto �300 tp spend. I listened to quite a lot, before being really impressed with a pair of Mission 760's. THey are excellent speakers, and got very good reviews in last Hi-Fi Choice etc. THey cost me Ir�129, and are linked to a Creek 4040 amp. Like the previous replies, you still have enough to splash out on some CD's.. Regards, Gear�id.
