My usually long intro:
-------------------------------------
Hi! I have already put in here some threads about my intentions, and now it seems there is something that will make it more complicated... Specially because Ishould hurry up.
I was wondering which speakers would be best to match my Yamaha 530 receiver (and future Yamaha 540 dvd player). I had in mind the following (I'd go now only for the fronts, step by step "looks" cheaper):
In the range 300 euro/pair
B&W DM 303
Magnat Vintage 120
Wharfedale Diamond 8.3
Canton LE 107 (I never considered this seriously, since they enhance high freq, and the amp too... Not a good combination)
In the range 400 euro/pair
B&W DM 600
Magnat Vintage 450
Kef Q3
Wharfedale Diamond 8.4
CAnton LE 109
Note that some are Floorstanding Speakers, while other don't... That I also have to decide (don't know what would be better, I have floorstand. and like the impression... Also the looks are more imponent... But sound is the most important!).
Also thought maybe something from Dynaydio or Tannoy would fall in the price/quality range I have here, but I don't know their ranges so well (Dynaudio Audience?).
I read that metal domes can be too "metallic" in the high freq... That put me off the Kefs... Although I only heard good about them, and I like the looks.
------------------------
And now comes the question: I have an offer of two Kefs Q3 for 190 euro each, because they are discontinuated. Should I rush for it, being much more for the price than I could get from any of the above, or take it easy and go and try and compare and so on?
Please, help! Thanks.
