Hello.
From being convinced I would go for B&W 603s, an LCR600 and 602.5 rears, a recent set of auditions changed my mind...
I heard the Gallos (great looking, good movie sound, but didn't cope well enough with stereo for me) and the M&K K3 package. The M&Ks were awesome. For such small boxes they had as much presence as the B&Ws in stereo and disappeared into the background when we switched the movies on.
Unfortunately I ran out of time and was unable to check out an S85 set-up. Before I get this organised, can anybody comment on the cost/quality benefit of S85s over the K series. I would have to build up the system slowly if I went the S85 route starting with the front three. Speakers will be driven by an Arcam AVR200 and a DV88 source.
Also... aesthetics is an issue for me too. Do the S85s (black) dissolve into the background? Any mounting suggestions? Finally, has anybody seen the K series in titanium?
Suggestions of any other alternatives would be welcomed.
Ta,
Wilbur
