I have had a little magnetic accidents with my Eltaxes and now I feel they are time to go, they should have been upgraded a long time ago but they have been neglected.

I have around £60 to spend on replacements which means the second hand market, does anybody have any idea? I want them to be fairly warm but also with tight and punchyish bass.

System:-
Cambridge Audio Azure A640
Marantz CDP 6000 OSE LE
Project Debut II Turntable
Rotel BX840 pre amp
Accustic Solutions DAB
Eltax Monitor III speakers

I want something which will dig well into the music if possible. Age is not an issue but size is, idealy taller than 35cm as I have a small room.

Thanks for suggestions.

My music tastes vary from Simon and Garfunkel to the Clash and modern chart indie/pop stuff.
 
A Pair of AR18s and a woofer re-foam kit.
Just about manageable for £60 and they have a direct, engaging quality missing from many speakers at any price.
 
I meant smaller than 35cm btw :). I prefer much the speed of bass to the depth. I will look into the suggestions so far. Thanks.
 
Some cheap speakers for laptop
Hey people,

I've been looking for a tv tuner recently and thought I might as well get some speakers to go with it.
I'm won't be using the speakers for loud music at all - only for normal TV volume. I want the speakers to be relatively cheap, under £20 ($40) and absolute max of £25 ($50) .
I was just wanting some suggestions of decent manufacturers and what to look out for my needs i.e. watt power .
 
Have you found some speakers yet amazingtrade? I've got some Royd Sapphires here (wirral). I bought them a couple of weeks ago for £75 so am looking for that back (be £90 posted if needed). Bit over budget but very good for the money. Fast tight bass and very open sound. Not in perfect nick cabwise, hence the low price. 30x20x19cm (hxwxd). I bought them to compare against my other, larger, royds - there seems to be no interest in those though so the sapphires are back up for sale.
 
What about JBL control 1s - nice little mini-monitors, tight and punchy but maybe not as warm as you'd like.

having read various threads about his car woes - I'd say no....he'll careully look into it for several months before selecting a pair that will invariably break down within a week... :D
