Hi guys,
I've recently just moved into my new house and have managed to convince the mrs to convert our smallish living room (5m x 3m not open plan) to a home cinema. So I have a epson tw3200 projector, Sony 1030 av reciever and old Panasonic all in one 5.1 speakers.
So I'm looking to upgrade the speakers to something worthwhile. I'm not a audiophile by any means, and am upgrading basically from tv speakers, so probably almost anything will probably sound good to me.
I've been trawling the forum and have narrowed the choice down to a few choices.
Criteria:
Smallish ( no floorstanders, the mrs choice not mine!)
Budget 600£ ish
Sound half decent, not looking for anything to blow my head off, just something clear and precise.
I will probably keep 2 of the Old Panasonic speakers for the rear to free up the budget for the front 3 and possibly a sub.
Choices:
1) Wharfedale 10cm with 10.1 diamond bookshelves (or 9.1?)
2) Dali vokal centre with zensor 1 bookshelves.
If I can avoid buying a sub I would like to, but have narrowed it down to the Gemini II.
My only concern with the wharfedale is the 10cm being massive, being a bit of an eyesore.
Would these setups be reasonable for the size room that I have? Any other suggestions and guidance would be appreciated. Let me know if I'm totally off the mark with my choices!
Thanks in advance!
