The bass problem is likely due to the room size rather than a problem with
the speaker. Try moving the speakers to a different position or firing them
the other way across the room or even diagonally. Try not to have the
listening position hard up against the rear wall, or at the half way point
in the room as these will be the worst places for room boom.

As for speakers, if you can still find a pair of Mission 773e, they will be
within your price range and are astoundingly good for the money. They would
be a revelation after the TDLs ;-)

I have just got a Cambridge Audio 640 Amp and CD, which sounds mighty
fine.

I tried a pair of TDL Studio 10's from Richer Sounds, great sound, but
the bass blew the front room windows out... Probably OK for a loft
apartment or a Cathedral.

I have an old pair of Celestion DL8's on stands which have a fantastic
midrange but lack any bass oomph.

Any suggestions on what speakers I should try for no more than 350
notes.

Yep, I guessed as much! Need a bigger house!

Audio T has some ex dem Mission773e's for £250.

I may try and get a listen to them.


Richard, I have a pair of Tannoy 611 (mk 2) floorstanders which new
cost £400 (with plinths). They give amazing all round sound, with a
very low bass responce, without being 'boomy'. They are also of a
closed cabinet design which helps tighten the bass in confined spaces.

Where in the UK are you Richard, as I have been considering selling
these to upgrade to a pair of B&W's.

Ray.



Ray, I'm in Reading.

I've sent this a few times but it doesn't seem to get through to the
server.
