I have a small dilemma that I would like some advice on in terms of speaker selection.

I've narrowed my choice down to tannoy dc6 (standmount/bookshelf) and dc6t (tower/floorstanding). After buying stands, the bookshelfs come out 125 cheaper.

The room is approx 3.5m across and the speakers would be on this wall. The listening position would be 3m back from this wall but slightly offset about half a meter to one side.

In terms of amp, I've got a 2 channel teac ar600 which is good for 90w x2 at 8 ohms.

Currently it's paired with a set of eltax symphony 8.3 (curry's special - don't laugh). The woofers blew at a long Party a few years back and I deemed it acceptable to replace the woofers with maplins own (don't laugh any more than you were already!).

Music range is varied, and I'm after clarity at normal to low listening levels, with the occasional blast. The wall the speakers will be next to is the adjoining wall to my neighbour.

Thanks for the advice if you got this far! :-)
 
Can't help with the bookshelf question but ive recently been searching for a pair of floorstanders around £300 to go with a Nad system & came across the Polk 330T

Haven't made the purchase yet but have found them under £300 for the pair elsewhere :roll:

If my budget was up to £500 then it would be the Mordaunt Short Mezzo's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mordaunt-Short-Mezzo-8-Floorstanding-Speakers-PAIR-Black-Boxed-Brand-New-/400681087852?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item5d4a74336c

or Monitor Audio Bronze http://www.richersounds.com/product/floorstanders/monitor-audio/bronze-bx5/moni-audio-bx5-wal

Have had speakers from both above in the past & they are exceptional quality & sound
 
I would be looking for a pair of second hand linn keilidh's . An excellent floorstander that takes up little space.

Makes sure they have the ku stone stands and the MK2 version has a better tweeter.

For the price they still blow all the completion away..
 
I used to have Tannoy Reveal Studio Monitors, great quality speakers. Not sure about the ones you've mentioned, but I was very impressed with the Tannoy speakers I had
 
A nice pair of Grado headphones will keep you AND your neighbour sweet. I have 325i's and they are pretty darn fine.
 
House mate has the mezzos 5.1 setup with a monolith sub..huge house shaking thing.

I had the kef xq 40s 5.1 but sold most of my home cinema stuff now
