Default Speaker Advice

My living room has wooden floors and measures 6 x 3.5m


Mission 760s are probably going to sound a bit lost in there unless positioned
just at one end.


In terms of music I listen to lots of guitar based stuff, radiohead,
massive attack, muse, placebo etc.......

I know I need to listen before I buy, but some basic pointers in
relation to my amp/room size/music would be great........booksheld on
stands vs floorstanders


You probably need floorstanders. They can 'couple' better to the room for more
apparent bass response.


My 760's always sounded a bit flat with the amp, lacking bass, although
I have read that the amp is 'neutral'?


The amp won't change the bass


Any advice on speaker cable too would be good.


The cheapest you can get with a decent cross-sectional area ( the more mm2 the
better ). Cables don't have a 'sound' as such and they're all made of the same
stuff. Spend the money on something useful.
