i want better sounding speakers

A great combination in my experience is NAD electronics and Paradigm speakers. You can never go wrong either w/a pair of used Vandersteen 1Cs or 2Cs or a pair of used PSB Stratuses. Always home demo before you buy!

sorry vagueness is just a gift (i am using a yamaha dspa1) and generally listen to a mix of beth orton -ben folds-rodney crowell nothing to extreme but i do like it loud not to bass heavy my plan is to upgrade everything starting w/ speakers no built in powerd subs

monitor audio s 6
how about something like these, price is right and they sound pretty good, not alot of heavy bass but do have some kick...by the way I am not the seller. Just an idea.
good luck

I would listen to the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes and the Von Scweikert VR-2.

i have sampled the sonus faber sweet hi not so much on the lo (at least on this pair)never had the pleasure of the von Scweikert- that will be my mission for today...any one have any input legacy audio
