Hello all!
First of all sorry if I don't post my request in the good section. If so, feel free to move it at the right place.
Second, I am not English and so pardon my poor skill at english.
Third, no, okay, there is no third.
To give you a bit of context my current system is an Alientek D8 amp woth Celestion Ditton 44 for speakers.
My sources are my computer over USB or my phone over bluetooth using a module bluetooth / optical thing.
I was avorall very happy with the system until i moved to a different place and the room is now smaller. Around 2,50m x 3,5m.
I also noticed that I allmost not listen anymore to my system and I think I got bored of the sound of this system. It's probably nothing really rational but I think I wanna try something different.
As I understood reading some of your pages even if the Alientek D8 was not measured, it's not a too good amp. Am I wrong?
To replace it I would gladly give a chance to the Amir's favorite cheap amp: the Loxjie A30 .
I don't have a big budget, so I've listed three speakers which were reviewed here and I will list there by order of price here in France:
- Polk Audio XT-20 125€ new.
-Wharfedale Diamond 220 (around 150€ second hands, around 230€ new.) Removed because lack of bass.
- JBL Stage A130 270€ new, when available.
- Elac DB62 can be found around 220€ new.
I think that coming from a speaker with a 31 cm bass, I would rather go for a 16 cm speaker unit. Or it's doesn't matter for somehow "dynamic" kinda "punchy" bass?
I am open to second hand market to fit my budget. TBH I like spending hours searching for new stuff. But I would stay on speakers which have been measured here or elsewhere.
Based on what I've said what will be your go to and more important, why?
Thanks.
EDIT I can have a pair of Eltax Monitor 3 but as I don't trust my ears, do you have any measurements of them to link me? Thanks.
