Hello,
having just bought my ex-dem Linn Movie Classik I now need to find some speakers, but the linn having taken up about 65% of my original £1000 limit, I am wondering how best to do the unit justice, quality-wise.
I'd like to go 5.1, but given my remaining budget is limited there any sense in buying two smallish speakers and a sub, then adding three more (sat+centre) later, when more funds are available? If instead, I go for a 5.1 speaker package now, I wonder if my £400-500 budget (ideally) would be up to the musical standard of the Linn?
So I am thinking along the lines of
Quad IIL2, which I can get for £230 for a pair.
Possibly B&W 686 £280 pair
or else Monitor Audio BR1/ or perhaps BR2 plus a better subwoofer.
I have also heard some Klipsch RB10's, at £233/ pair, which sound amazing for their size - what do people know about these?
Then I wonder about adding 3 Monitor Audio R45's later for the mid and rear channels, but as some of you say they sound bright, I guess they'd have to be matched with an apt subwoofer???
Would all this ammount to a better musical sounds than a Canton Movie 100 MX/ Q-acoustics 10101 or even Acoustic Energy AEGO T 5.1 set?
What would you do?
Thanks!
