Thats fair enough .. didnt know you already had a pair of Q's! that would have made the answers a bit easier to work out lmao if you'd have said from the start do you run the 3050's off of the CXA60or do you use a different amp?
At least with the all Q setup... the sound will be somewhat linear throughout the house
It's a bit of a long story but as you have been good to me I'll tell you the short version
I moved house maybe 5 years ago and inherited the old AV salutation for my office/mancave. I.E An old Denon 2805 AV amp and some Celestion 305's in 2.1, this just runs through my PC optical out at my desk.
A few years later I treated myself at Christmas to some refurbs of 3050's and the now infamous CXA 60, I think it was about £500-£600 all in all which was a steal at the time. I also bought a CCA and a nice old mans chair and took the time to measure about the place and set them up properly. This is my "premium" rig where I sit and read when I have the time and really make the most of it.
The issue is that I spend 99% of my time in that room on the PC either working or playing games/guitar on the inferior rig. Hence the idea to buy some cheapish speakers and use them with the CXA's second speaker output when I'm at my desk, never at the same time as the 3050's.
This lead me to nearly buy some of the old stock B&W 607's, then 606's, then inevitably lead to trawling forums for 3 days, tripling the original budget, nearly buying the LS50's before you advised against it and settling on testing the concept 20's - what a ride!
