Hi all,
I am going to be joining the world of atmos shortly with the purchase of a new receiver. I currently have a Yamaha rxv371 receiver with tannoy sfx 5.1 speakers. My idea is to keep the speakers I currently have and buy an additional pair. I can't decide if I should buy some second hand sfx sattelites or some new bookshelf/floorstanding speakers. Ceiling speakers are out of the question as the wife would never allow them!
Option 1 is to buy a pair of bookshelf/floorstanding speakers and use these as the front channels and then use the sfx speakers this frees up for the height channels. My problem here is that I have no idea how to make sure the new speakers match my current ones sonically. This is a more expensive route but may have better sound? I have a budget of £200 for the speaker pair. Any suggestions of which speakers to choose would also be appreciated.
Option 2 Buy another set of second hand sfx speakers from ebay and use two of those for my height channels as they will be a perfect match for my current speakers.
Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly accepted.
Thanks in advance
