Guru's!!
I'm looking for 5.1 speakes for my new AVR300, rather the amp is and I'm paying the dosh
The amp purchase was for stereo more than AV as there's no room for 2 dedicated systems. I could push for a full blown speaker setup, floorstanders+Sub but the rears would have to be on the walls.
I've looked at the folowing packages:-
EVO 3 (substitute rears for Bipoles)
Monitor's Bronze B4's (substitute rears for Bipoles)
Radius, either 90's + 180 +360 or 270's + 180 + 90's + 360
KEF KHT 5005.
I'm aware that Sat+Sub systems are 'ok' for stereo and the better performance comes from a full blown system, it's just the space and placement issue.
Thing that gets me is that the EVO and B4 package is 2-400 less than those Sat+Sub systems, and sound worse?
Thoughts and recommendations welcome
