Hi all. Very interesting forum. I joined about 5 min ago, but have been looking around in it prior.
I bought a pair of BA T930 speakers new in the previous century (1989?). They cost $650 for the pair. Specs are below. I run them now with a cheap Denon AV receiver (that I hate). I want an entirely new system considering my CD player and power source (Denon) are old and low quality. I don't mind spending $6-8k as long as the sound quality improves very significantly.
My question is this, what is the fidelity of the BA T930 speaker compared to today's speakers? What would an equivalent quality speaker cost today (I know this is a subjective question)? I'm just wondering if I should keep them and put my $ in the other components, or get new speakers (and thus less money into the other components).
Also, I heard some PCM twenty.22 bookshelf speakers the other day (2 drivers). I was impressed with their clarity, and base. They actually go down to 40hz which is impressive for a bookshelf no? I never thought a small bookshelf could compete with my BAs. Anyone have any experience with these? They are made by a very small specialty manufacturer in England - I'm not sure many are sold in the USA.
thanks for your comments
