Wanted - Your suggestions for a small pair of bookshelf speakers, they will be linked to a NAD3020b integrated, mainly playing CD's. The system belongs to the missus (so I dont need to spend too much :rofl:). Thanks lads.

Great little speakers. A real classic and amazingly punchy.

With that amp perhaps a second-hand pair of Amphion Argons, or Heliums at more of a budget. :)

These are good, cheap & cheerful (actually better than the modern version)

Mission 700 Leading Edges sound great on the end of it ;-)

+1

The 731i are also very musical speakers.

Are the Mission 760i better sounding than my JPW sonatas ?

The only reason I ask is my JPW sonatas look same size and design as the mission 760i

Q acoustics have higher WAF than old Missions, so probably a safer bet.

+1 on this. I recently bought a pair of 3020s for my second system and they're excellent.

I had a little pair of Heybrook Heylettes quite a few years ago, they were brilliant.

I'd happily have another pair if needed.
