I'm seriously considering upgrading the mains on my stereo, but with a limited budget. Budget will be $300 (I know) but that's what I have to work with and I see no reason why I can't get a worthwhile upgrade for that price.
What I currently have in my speaker setup:
Transport: Marantz CD5001
Source: Zhaolu 1.3 (modded) or Artison Audio RD11 model E TT
Amp: Marantz 1030 integrated (15wpc RMS)
Infinity RS2
I do have a pair (actually 2 pair) of Atlantis SBF 24" speaker stands that I have filled with sand, so I do not have to factor stands into the price.
I'm very seriously considering the PSB Alpha B1's. I've heard good things about them and they received a lot of praise a few months ago in Stereophile. Plus, my local PSB dealer is willing to give me a good deal, and let me take home the Demo units to decide if I like them, if I do I'll get a brand new pair, if I don't then I'll get a full refund with no restocking fee.
But are there any other speakers I should seriously consider?
