Too much time on my hands, now pondering new Speakers.....

Russell, these could be just the ticket, but try them with your amp(s). https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...has-gone-away)

Thanks for pointing these out but being honest the Quads aren’t for me - mainly aesthetically which I know sounds a little shallow but just being truthful. Speakers like the SoundLabs or Martin Logan would hit the spot so still doing some investigation and waiting to hear from Audio Emotion if their home demo they advertise extends to pre-owned gear.

I suspect it will be a buy and return job and then only get a voucher to use on something else. I might be wrong.

Tannoys seem to be a bit of a Marmite speaker, especially the earlier ones, although many love them. Having said that the Legacy Ardens I had I really liked, the one criticism I could have of them is the mids can be a little warm which may be a concentric trait but I am not certain of this. I moved on from mine for practicality reasons and to keep harmony at home, also I came across a rather lovely pair of Wilson Benesch Vectors, the tick virtually all the boxes for me.

Ah, now you're talking with Wilson Benesch speakers - always fancied a pair myself after hearing some years back (can't remember the model but were well out my price range).

Thanks Phil - are the Eaton's 10" DC cones? My Chester's have the 10" polymer DC cones and I don't find them deep enough at all. I've got them set up with my Almarro in a small room with a little REL Sub to bolster the bottom end.

Was thinking the size of the 15" cones on those Berkley's might give me all the grunt I could ask for paired with my MBL?
