Hi. I currently have a 3.1 setup, which I'm looking to expand over time.
The next part of my plan is taking it up to 5.1 with a pair of bipoles on either side of the sofa.
(If it's bipole/dipole-selectable, that's OK.)
The question, in short:
Can anyone recommend a pair of bipole (or bipole/dipole switchable) speakers that will suit my current equipment? I'm looking to spend between £200 and £500 for a pair.
To give you some background info, here's what I've currently got:
Receiver: Yamaha RX-A860
Front speakers: KEF Q300 bookshelf
Center speaker: KEF Q200c
Subwoofer: 1x SVS PB-1000
So the bipoles I want, should have a reasonably similar tonality to the KEFs I've already got.
The room layout is a rather strange L-shape,
where the kitchen is the short stub (the "foot" of the L),
and the living room is the rest (stem and corner) of the L, measuring about 4 x 13 meters.
It's only one sofa (one seating row), and usually only me watching the telly,
but I'm sat 4 meters away, and have 9 meters of open space behind me, so the acoustics are a bit odd.
