I had a very satisfying and affordable system once built around the Complete and a pair of Triangle Cometes. Oddly enough, I'm now using Spica TC-50s, although I've moved onto different amplification (modded Moscode 300 tube/hybrid amp with a Creek passive pre). How did you like the Complete with the Spicas? I also used the Complete with various Meadowlark speakers but I found the combination to be too much of a good thing in terms of midrange bloom, lacking the crisp, quick character of the Triangles. In some ways I find the Spicas to represent a happy medium.
Help with speakers for audio refinement complete
Hey folks, I need some guidance for speaker selection for my system. I have an audio refinement complete integrated amp currently used to power JM Lab Chorus 715's. I got these speakers as b-stock to replace a pair of spica's that were damaged beyond repair during a move. I've never been completely happy with this current combo, but I can't quite verbalize what it is that I don't like.
My primary source is a Rega Planet cd player, but I also use a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable with a Creek phono stage. In addition, I'm using Hero interconnects and Wasatch speaker cables. My room is about 14 x 20 with 11' ceilings with my listening station about 9-11' from the speakers.
I hope the inclusion of the other equipment gives a frame of reference for my budgetary restrictions. Any insight would be appreciated. I have no shops in my town. However, I am 2 hours from several cities; so with planning I should be able to audition most options.
