Hello all,
I have read endless threads on the soundbar vs component comparison , here is my situation, I'll try to keep this concise:
Budget - about £1000
Room - small living room approximately 7x5m (see attached picture
TV - LG oled c9 or B9? will be wall mounted above fireplace.
Source - Netflix and amazon prime - no blue ray, no gaming system
Choices - Samsung Q90R or Sony STRDN1080 (£420) and ELac B6.2 or possibly Klipsch RP-600m
I was set on buying a Samsung Q90R , rated as Best in class by AV forums and costs about a grand, on checking through used listings I realised how quickly these things loose value in 2-3 years and become old tech. On the other hand component systems seem more flexible and upgradable. So the questions to you all are
1. For this small a space will an initial investment in some good bookshelf speakers and an AV receiver give a similar (or better) effect to the Samsung Q90R?
2. Is wiring a component system in this space going to be a nightmare? Should I just stick to the simple solution
3. Is a q90r with rear speakers overkill for such a space?
Any suggestions on my component choices welcome too =)
Thank you all for your help.
