    Default Speakers advice please

    Hi All,

    I'm looking to replace my B&W Dm2. I have the Celestion Ditton 66 in mind but I'm open to other ideas.

    I hope you can help.

    Thank you
    Julie

    Any particular reason why you want to change? Only curious here, as I would say if they are working fine, and you otherwise like the sound of them, keep them and enjoy them! I think in some ways I am becoming a tight wad in my aging years...

    I don't think I will ever be able to sell them - we have a connection but I bought a quad 606 with the 44 preamp a couple of weeks ago and feel I need a different set of speakers.

    Nothing wrong with that "connection", I too have had a few of those over the course of time! As to the Ditton's and your new Quads, I will leave that for others to comment on, as I really have no clue how that combo would be! Have fun and enjoy your tunes and new gear!

    I know nothing of Ditton 66s - however there are many on here who like them particularly "the all seeing eye" I'm sure they will respond - maybe you could put Ditton 66 in the title

    This might help

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Normally you'd pick the speakers to match the room and then the best amplifier that can drive them with the sound you like in your budget.

    What size room have you got?

    The room is 4m x 3m. It is small but it is not forever
