Hi all,
Currently running an Anthem MRX510 with Acoustic Energy Radiance 1's for front and a Radiance centre (and older AE's for surround duties). Mounted on oak stands filled with shot. A BK Gemini II adds a bit of low end.
They sound great and I've always liked the sound from the Acoustic Energy's. But since upgrading to the Anthem I can't help but feel they are holding back the system a bit.
Here's the rub, replacements need to be stand mounts and preferably in oak. The Wife will not accept floor standers and the oak stands do look good. The speakers also need to work well close to the wall as the room is only 12ft deep.
I use the system about 50% music, 50% films/TV.
The AE's were about £600/pair so budget is perhaps £1K for the right speakers, plus extra for the centre. Any ideas? I'm going round and round in circles and could do with some pointers
