Hi
I brought some Mordaunt Short Genies at Christmas time and have been very happy with them. Due to being disabled my wife and I have been living with my mum and only really had the bedroom to ourselves so I had to go with small speakers. Now that we have worked out solutions to the problems that forced us to live together we can now buy the house and so the lounge is ours to take over .
So now we arn't confined to small space and with my wife really likeing some of the set ups in the members home cinema gallery I can look at bigger speakers if they will be a decent improvement.
I've been thinking of something like this
http://www.petertyson.co.uk/ebutton...ntshortavantms906ipackage-ms906ipackage.shtml
MS906i Fronts
MS903i Rears
MS905i Centre
MS309i Subwoofer
I would continue to use my Yamaha 757SE amp.
Would a set up like that be a significant upgrade over a MS genie pack? We do alot of movie and TV watching but we also listen to a decent ammount of music. The music is 192kbps or 320kbps mp3's on my squeezebox 3 and into the yamaha 757SE amp.
I've found lots of reviews that say how good these are and how good the genies are but can't find any sort of comparison between small and bigger speakers.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Edit - going to demo is difficult, being in a wheelchair I'd need my wife to take me and then she'd see the price and there are many more important things for her to do at the moment than going to listen to speakers.
