I was all set to buy some 2005.2 Eggs from a local dealer. I want something smaller to please the wife and she likes the silver eggs. The dealer had them on offer for £500 for 5 sats + 1 sub in silver. Stands which probably would be required are 70 per pair making a grand total of £640.
Whilst I was there I spotted some other speakers that took my fancy and these were the KHT5005 which I think look nicer. I had a quick demo of the front ones of those as the store was closing shortly. I was impressed as the front sound field seemed better. The salesman checked and said they were able to do a good deal on them because they were coming to the end of life. The normal price with floor stands was quoted as 1200 and the deal for 5 sats + 1 sub with floors stands in silver was £800. Which seems a good deal.
Its just I have not seen any reviews so I was wondering what people that own them think or what I other sub/sat combinations I should look at.
I currently have KEF Q55s a Reference 100 center and Model 60S Surrounds driven by a Yamaha DSP-A1.
Do you think I would be getting as good results from either of the above systems or not, am I selling my self short?
(I don't have a sub as I sold it again to please the wife for £150. Unfortunately I had checked the bay out previously and none had been around so I put it on the forums for £150 which somebody snapped up. I then saw a few go on the bay for £335, doh
. But c'est la vie, I only paid 400 for mine new.)
