Been looking at my ageing Tannoy 611's and wondering if i should replace them?

Sonically they still sound good, but dont seem to have the same bite they had when i purchased them.

Now i know my hearing will have rolled off, but im wondering if newer kit out there, can match or surpass the tannoys.

BTW there the Dual concentric type, so they have a unique sound to start with.

Her indoors is looking at smaller speakers (why???) me i like floor standers.

any recommendations, or suggestions

I don't know whether these are better than what you have but they are now half price due to new model either due or now on sale. Replacement looks the same i believe but has some internal improvements.

I would have thought that by telling you what my current speakers were, would have given you some idea, of what my tastes are, and my budget.

but here goes anyway.

budget: 2-300 ish

Amp: Kenwood AV amp, may be upgraded to Denon av amp

CD marantz CD 52

music varies from 80,s through to classical.

Movies = any

2-300 would go part way towards - save a bit longer and ante up dude - you won't regret it - unless your amp is shab.

Denon are pretty good - Arcam are very good
