Since you already have a Rega piece (that I take you like) maybe you can go listen to some Rega speakers, provided they're available for audition. His speakers may be one of the best kept secrets in audio right now.
Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages
For 19 years I have been happily living with Dynaco A-50 speakers. Remember them - two-way with a 1.5" tweeter and two 10" aperodic drivers. Over the years there have been various electronics behind them. The end of 2001 I splurged with a Creek 5350SE integrated amp and a Rega Planet 2000 Cd player, as well as assorted combinations of Cardas cables. The result is that the A-50s sound better than they ever have. So what's the problem? I know there are a lot of good speakers out there that are more detailed with better imaging, sound stage, etc., but I really like the Dynaco sound -smooth, neutral and bassy. Can anyone that remembers the Dynaco sound recommend a speaker that is somewhat similar and that would work with the the Creek and the Rega. My price range is up to $3000 new. Any help would be appreciated
