Hi Everyone. I know I posted this in the onkyo 818 owners thread possibly not the place for it.
Just wanted to ask your opinion of which set of speakers I should get with the Onkyo 818.
My current setup really needs a good revisit.
Besides replacing the ancient Sony amp STR-DB940.
I have Kef IQ5s Floor standings
And I guess really mediocre
Mordaunt-Short Avant 905i centre
and
Mordaunt-Short Avant 903i bipole backs.
Now as a replacement thinking
Monitor Audio RX6 package (possible replace the floor standings with Rx8s as I like my music)
and use the Kef Iq5s to make up the extra 2 in the 7.1 Or get a pair of the Kef Q300s at some point?
Or possibly something like the Kef AV700 speaker 7.1 speaker package. Whathifi didn't give the Q700s a very good review though.
Basically would the Kef IQ5s work well as the remaining 2 in any new 5.1 setup to get to 7.1. (I'm assuming you wouldn't suggest the mordaunt-Short bipolar speakers)
Also what do you guys think of the Dali Zensor 7s/5s. Obviously trying to figure out my budget (wants vs need )
Thanks.
Jay
