Speaker upgrade

Dear Bryanhod: My advice is that instead to put big money on those " stand alone " near full range speakers, go for a pair of good monitors plus subwoofers ( for a lot less money and better quality sound reproduction performance ).

You have many alternatives: Revel Gem, Harbeth, JM Labs Utopia series, Merlin, Proac, Wilson, Totem, Sonus Faber, NHT, Dynaudio, Legacy, etc, etc.
You can matc it with a pair of Velodyne HGs-15 or DD-15 or Talon subs.
No one single full speakers can give you the sound quality performance that any of those combinations and for a lot less money. Think about or better than that: try it !!!!.

Please take a little of your time and read these links:

Dear Bryan: Yes, that will be a very good first step. A pair of DD-15 will do wonders on your system in a true stereo way.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Bryan: The DD-15 is a good choice. As a fact the DD-15 and DD-18 almost have the same performance, the real differences you can hear it only in a big room.

Regards and enjoy the music.
