Advice on new system

[Bigneddy 0]

Hi guys,

I am looking to purchase a new set of passive speakers and an amp (eventually a sub as well) and would like some views and advice.

I want a sound that is room filling with a good strong bass. But I want it to be detailed to bring out some of the subtleties in music I have missed before. 

I listen to a fairly wide range of stuff but it will mainly be electronica, ambient and some techno. I also like to play metal and occasionally a bit of Genesis.

My room will be a small to medium size and rectangular. (Not sure if that makes a difference for advice)

I have narrowed down my speaker choices to the following;

Monitor Audio Silver 100

B&W 606

Dynaudio Emit M20

 

Anyone have any views or experience with any of them?

Any advice on an amp pairing would be greatly appreciated as well. (I have about £700 to spend on an amp if needed) I want enough power to be able to listen occasionally at unhealthy levels ha ha

 

Thanks for any info or advice you guys can provide

For techno, the Monitor Audio S100 is your best bet. It has a tight, clean, finely etched sound with strong bass - thanks to largest in class woofer -  and a finessed treble. Dynaudio is slightly more lively but will lack insight with prog rock. B&W might be too polite sounding for your music tastes.

The Rega Brio is the most engaging sounding amp inside your budget and will be a good synergistic match to the MAs, in particular.

I'd agree that the Monitor Audio S100 is the best from that list, for your intended purpose. 

If you have a little more to spend, the Acoustic Energy AE500 would be my choice. It's sweet, crisp and detailed – and one of the most musical small standmounters around right now. It would be a riot with the latest Rega Brio.

Are there no dealers where you are? Valencia?

Listening is still your best bet, but I realise cannot always be done.
