walshie 2,804 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 B&O stuff is more style than function IMO and overpriced. I can recommend Mission or Kef speakers. Can't fault the quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bang on about the B&O's and I own a pair that i paid £4800 for 12years back when i had money to waste.Mission and kef are both decent and make stuff to match whatever your budget.JBL are decent if you want good build quality and something that packs a punch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I run a pair of Technics vintage 3 ways, 100watt input, as my main speakers, and a pair of 2 way Mordaunt Short's 40watts if it's late in the evening and I want to keep the noise down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 19,329 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 A pair Sonus Faber will make your trousers fit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
king 11,664 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 And what's the crack with an amp lads. I've read about the B&O having an amp for each speaker built into the cabinets. What sort of qualitys should I be looking into for an amp. As I know zero about speakers or amps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The B&O Beolab 1 speakers that i have are active speakers meaning that the have an amp built into each speaker so i just used a Rotel pre amp to control the volume and decide what was running into them.ie CD,tuner etc.All my hifi stuff has been in the loft about 5years since my daughter started toddling about.Should cash most of it really as ive got a little Bose system that sounds decent enough for the amount i actually get time to listen to it these days and it takes up no room and doesnt need loads of cables and interconnects running everywhere.Your best bet is to look at the reviews in what hifi or similar mags.

Spot on DS there's so many biased reviews on YouTube etc it's like a minefield.i will pick a few mags up and get myself more clued up on it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,164 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Old school mate, quality never goes out of fashion before you spend a fortune have a look round your local cash converters some surprisingly high end gear in there at bottom end money 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
