I think the focal will sound better than the other speakers. The 6000a is a great amp but it doesn't have enough power to deal with inefficient speakers. The 906s are the only speakers in that list that don't need a lot of power to sound their best.

I understand this is an apples vs oranges question as I’m trying to compare a floorstander with a bookshelf speaker but, if you had to choose what would you pick? This is for a mid sized room

The Elacs need a lot of power to sound great. When I had them with my audiolab 6000a I found the sound dull and lacking dynamics unless I was playing it loud

I’ve heard them both and preferred the sound of the Dentons. Their midrange seemed more natural and it had a “smoother” top end. Also the dentons are a much better match with the audiolab 6000a than the Elacs are.

I got the 5.1 but yeah sorry I didn’t want to make it sound like I was comparing both as if they are on the same category, it was more as a way to illustrate my journey in this post

As this post was resurrected I feel like I could tell the end of my Elac dbr story: Regardless of how powerful of an amp I used, I feel like the Elacs were always a bit too boring, too polite and lacking dynamics for my taste. I ended up replacing them with a pair of vintage Wilson Watt Puppies

Hmm is the JBL Stage A130 available in your area? It measures really well(especially if eq is available) and it is pretty cheap

Are you ok with actives? I think you'd be better off with a Genelec speaker on a desktop situation

Thanks for the help guys! I looked at Amazon uk instead of us that’s why I couldn’t find them I guess As for the price well…I don’t really think they made any difference in terms of sound compared to the cheaper cables I had before but they’re definitely prettier and give my system more of a...

I got these speaker cables on AliExpress and they came missing a pair of banana plugs I don’t wanna bother contacting the seller about it cos I imagine the process will take ages so I tried buying banana separate plugs but I can’t seem to find one that is compatible with the cable I have. Does...

Have you tried the loxjie a30? Or maybe the ps audio sprout?

Yeah I tried moving it around and ended up putting the sub right next to my couch(where is sounded the best for me) I just got a minidsp with Dirac and it helped a lot in making the bass sound similar to what I was listening in my bedroom! But I few like now with Dirac I need to push the volume...

Thanks for the responses everyone! In the end I got a rel t-zero sub(I had to get something small as I don't have much space right now) and the bass better, but still meh. What really "fixed" it was when I moved my system from my living room into my bedroom. The bass was finally full and...

Thanks for the responses guys! I will look into a subwoofer before thinking of upgrading amplification. My room isn't very large btw so I'll defiantly check out the Kube 8b

I'm currently running my Elac dbr from a 50w Audiolab 6000a. It sounds ok but I feel like the speaker is struggling to play bass notes properly so I wanted to try out a more powerful amp. My budget is around £500 (less is, of course, definitely better). My current options are: AUDIOPHONICS...
