Hi everyone,
(sorry I'm not certain if this is the correct section for this)
I'm after a new set of speakers to replace my pair of KRK KP6's because they're too large and I'm not running them via an amp so I don't have much control over them. This also means I can't have them plugged into all of my equipment. If I were to add an amp that would take up way too much space. the KP6's also aren't loud enough and distort at max volume, I'm aware that to get more out of them I would need to add a sub but again that's adding to the bulk. I really would like a smaller, neater system. The KP6's do sound fantastic though.
I need speakers that are very well rounded for various purposes;
Music
I listen to drum n bass, dubstep, some hiphop and chillout, mostly at moderate volume due to parents at home, but would like some power for when they leave and I'm free to terrorise the neighbours and kill off small pets. I previously had Logitech Z5500's and maxed them out at times to give you an idea of my loudness preference
Movies & Games
For both of these I like the idea of surround sound. I don't watch movies often but play Battlefield 3 daily (currently with surround headset) and surround speakers would be epic. I realise though that having surround means I have to sacrifice sound quality so I could do with 2.0/2.1 if no decent 5.1 systems are available.
Inputs & other kit
I will need a system that is up for triple penetration from my PC, Sky+ HD box and Xbox 360 Slim ie. I would like to be able to listen to music on my PC while playing Xbox or watching Sky through my TV. I guess I would connect my PC into the sound system as 1 input, and the TV as the 2nd so all equipment is connected. Please let me know if there is a better way, and which connections I could use for each bit of kit.
Budget as stated is £400 and I think I would prefer an all-in-one but am willing to go separates (never delved into before).
Thanks in advance
