Hi
I'm moving from some much loved B&W 602s / CC6 to something wall mountable with a sub. I've got a few in mind & wondered if people had compared any combination of these & what you thought as I've got limited time to decide and can't demo them all. And should I be considering anything I haven't listed?
Most likely option: The B&W M1s look nice but I haven't heard them yet. Paying 950 for a PV1 sub to go with them is going to sting a bit, but I'm told the AS2 isn't much cop? Is there a decent smallish sub I could pair up with these?
Other contenders: The Mordaunt Short Genies seem to get good reviews, not heard these either but they look the part in black and are easy to get hold of.
Tried listening to some M&Ks and wasn't overly impressed with the budget end and don't want to spend 3x£400 on satellites. The better range sounded nice and clear but looked very drab* and seemed to really rely on a huge sub to give them any sort of presence, but perhaps that will be inevitable with small speakers.
Thanks
*can you tell this proposal needs to get past the wife?
