Hi all
First off I must say this is a great forum...lots of clued up people it seems which is excellent for dummys like me!
Anyway, last night I finally splashed out on a DVD and an Amp. I got the Pioneer DVD565 and te Yamaha DSP-AX640SE AV Amplifier. Anyway, the last thing I need now is a speaker package and I'm set!
I've got a fairly average front room size for a small UK flat. It's about 4.5m x 3.5m so I'm not sure if it would take floor standing speakers....although please correct me if I'm wrong.
I want to spend about £500, no more, on a speaker set but I would also like to get the stands and/or mounts included in that. While I'm on the subject...is it best to put bookshelf speakers on stands or mount them quite high up on the wall?
I've obviously been impressed by the Mourdaunt Short Premier System from Richer Sounds and other places for between £250 and £300 and I believe te wall mounts are only £10 each for these. However, I would be willing to spend a bit more if there is something a lot better available. I don't mind buying off the web so there isn't really a restriction of where I can buy from. Also, Richer Sounds are having stocking problems on the MS Premier and I'm really wanting to get something bought within the week. The only thing I don't want is a satellite speaker system, I would like bookshelf speakers or floor standing ones if possible.
If anyone has any ideas or recommendations on what I can get then I'd be very grateful.
