Thanks everyone for your input! I live in the DC area so I am blessed with six stores that cover most of the better audio equipment out there. I went on a serious listening binge and heard most of your recommended speakers which were all very good. The winner was the Vienna Acoustics Mozarts. They sounded great with the Rega - a very layed back sound, but yet plenty of detail. For such a small speaker (7" wide), it is amazing the amount of sound that come from the Mozarts - great sound stage. Now for years of happy listening - afterall I kept the Dynacos for 19 years.
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
