It's time to upgrade my setup - I've currently got a Denon AVR-x2300w with a Boston Soundware XS 5.1 set up. I'm planning on keeping the AVR - its served me well and is a very capable bit of kit. The Soundwares will be retired to make way for some grown up speakers.
Thank you
- The room - 4.85m x 3.65m, with the TV in the middle of the longer side.
- Will mostly used for movies/tv (90%), occasionally music (10%)
- Budget for the speakers & sub is £1300 - new or used
- Splitting the budget: Sub - £400.00, Centre - £300.00, Front L&R - £300.00, Rear L&R - £200.00, Ceiling - £100.00
- Splitting the budget: Sub - £400.00, Centre - £300.00, Front L&R - £300.00, Rear L&R - £200.00, Ceiling - £100.00
- Desired 5.1.2 with 2 in the ceiling (top middle)
- For the fronts - love the idea of floorstanders. But to get the most out of the budget, the sensible option would be standmounts - am I wrong?
- Maybe Q Acoustics 3050 floor standers (used around £300). Of course, with that will come the Q Acoustics 3090c, under budged - I could get the concept centre, but it would not work well with the 3050's. Going for the concept floor-standers will blow the budget.
- Standmount/Bookshelf with matching centre recommendations please?
- For the rears/sides
- What about 2 B&W M1's? Ideally i'd like standmounts/bookshelfs but the M1 type will be more practical in the room (smaller). And they're available used within budget.
- Alternatively, Klipsch R-41M seem decent and price new at £230
- Sub
- I'm thinking SVS SB-1000, used around £400. This is where my budget is holding me back - decent used subs seem to start around £400
- Budget for the speakers & sub is £1250 - will consider used.
- Splitting the budget: Sub - £400.00, Centre - £350.00, Front L&R - £300.00, Rear L&R - £200.00, Ceiling - £150.00
