Just when I thought enough is enough, I've been sucked back in to the rabbit hole of speaker upgrades! I would say the usage split is 60% movies, 20% PS5 20% music.
I am considering upgrading my front LCR. They are currently qa 3020i with a 3090 centre.
I appreciate I would need to listen to some in a demo setting maybe... But realistically this upgrade would set me back 1,500-2000 if I'm being honest with myself.
I have a 2 year old and you'll see from the photo the speaker stands are quite well protected and he's never been near them (thankfully). Floorstanders are a dream but I couldn't stand them far enough away from the wall. The non negotiables from my current setup are as follows.
BK P12-300SB-PR sub.
Kef T101 surrounds.
Denon AVR-X1600H
So looking at bookshelves... My main issue is the cost of the stands. I'm also quite lucky the QAs bolt to the stands which I understand isn't common.
I would say also being in the lounge they need to look nice. From what I can see, it's KEF or MA... Its just hard to know if that much expense is really going to make enough difference. Two subs aren't an option due to space constraints. My lounge is 4.7m x 3.5m.
Any comments or thoughts welcome, particularly if you've upgraded from similar speakers.
