I am in the process of selling my Kef 2005.2's as we are moving house and they would look out of place with the look we want.
I am wanting to go to a nice dark wood effect 5.1 set up with floorstanders at the front (not really bothered wether it be floorstanders, bookshelf stand mounted or bipole wall mounted at the rear) and have been looking at the Mission M35i for the front.
After a bit of reading up it seems that the Monitor BR5 Audio is a better option though....but at a price. If I were to go with MA kit rather than Mission I would be looking at a minimum price increase of around £300...and that's £300 I dont have at the moment so I would have to wait a while before buying all the speakers.
There is nowhere local to me that has both ranges in for me to demo so, my question is twofold.
One. Does anyone have experience of the Mission M35i and the Monitor Audio BR5 and can give an honest opinion of how much better (if any) the MA is?
Two. Even though I would like the best speakers I can afford, would the Missions still sound as good or even better than the Kefs I am currently using?
Any help in this is, as always, greatly appreciated.
