Hi All!
It's been a while since I've been on but as with most - the bug eventually starts to bite again and I'm back.
I originally started building my sound system 8 yrs ago in a different house with different space. This was the kef Q range. Since then I moved house and my dedicated room shrank to only 4m x 3m. It's now time to re decorate the room and the reality is that not only are the speakers physically too big for the room, but I'm guessing likely too big in what they are producing too (I'm wondering can I improve my surround experience with smaller speakers) - screen and seating is on the 4m walls so we are only ever 2.5m from screen
So soon I will be putting up for sale my kef Q900's, 600c and 300 for rears and I want something I can wall mount to replace them.
My budget for the front 3 is probably about £500 over the sale value of my speakers for the front 3 - I don't mind adding rears later if it will significantly improve my system. I probably watch movies 80% as opposed to music 20% these days. I won't be replacing my amp yet which is a marantz sr7011
I had a look through the forums and found plenty of small enough speakers - I just don't want to go overkill for my room size. I'm also now looking towards motorised screens if there have been any newer developments in this area!
Would love to hear some opinions
Thanks
Pete
