Correct me if I wrong but the better Amp driving them the better sound you can expect (to the limit of their ability granted) I'd be interested to hear if anyone else agrees that I'm perhaps wasting money buying an Denon 3808 with the Kef 3005.1 speakers. |
David,
I am basing my judgement on KEF 2005.2 'eggs' with a Denon 3803 which was my first AV setup 4/5 years ago, I had the full 7.1 setup initially and I was totally underwhelmed. After a week of stress over a bad decision I put back my main L/R speakers at that time Monitor Audio 3's £400 a pair at that time. The difference was chalk and cheese 'proper' wooden speakers designed for sound quality by reputable manufacturers make a great deal of difference over the wife/girlfriend friendly fashion designer speakers - I seriously doubt your compromise in speakers will reveal the real detail/ambience that is there in a high-quality source/amp setup.
I am willing to be shot down but this is based on experience don't believe the hype.
