BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION


I’ve set up an additional music system in a spare bedroom, small with wall to wall carpeting.  My current system, all purchased used  on Audiogon or AudioMart, consists of a Hegel 590 integrated amp, an Ayre C-5 Universal CD player, Synergistic interconnects ,Nordost Heimdall speaker cables and Synergistic Research and Shunyata power products.  Currently I’m feeding the cables into a Tannoy D-100 monitor I purchased 30 years ago and which sat in the garage for the last 20 years. It sounds pretty darn good but of course, the bass could be better, the limitation of small speakers.  But as technology for small monitor speakers has advanced over 30 years, I’m looking for recommendations for monitors that sound great but give a little more bass.   I’ve been looking at the Totem Signature One and the Dynaudio 40 Anniversary models, based on reviews.  But I’d very much like to hear the recommendations of this experienced group.  Thanks, appreciate it.

The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3 would go great with your Hegel.

and I would be careful with the LSAs. Don't buy anything without the option to return it, don't be stuck with it.

re sub, I have been meaning to do it myself. But I am not confident what and how, and if my amp would handle it, and e.g. the Dynaudio subs cost more than my speakers. Which doesn't compute for me, why are they so freaking expensive?
