speakers for cyrus 6 system

[leng]

Does anyone have any suggestions as to speakers which I should audition to go with my Cyrus 6 amp/ CD6 combo?

Budget is £500 (maybe £600 max) and space constraints indicate that the speakers really need to be wall-mountable.

The only wall-mountable speakers I know, in the same class as your Cyrus kit, are the AVI Pro-Nine Plus.

I think they may be around £700, but are supposed to be very good and are designed specifically to go onto a wall.

You really want to find a sealed or front-ported design, to minimize boom when placed near a wall.

EDIT: Dynaudio Audience 42W are the rear speakers from the Dynaudio range which are supposed to be good enough for fronts too?

If you are looking for small bookshelf speakers then you should consider PMC DB1's. They are smallish and could be mounted on the wall. I think they retail at £550.

I was almost ready to buy a pair to go with my Cyrus CD7, Cyrus 7/PSX and SmartPower/PSX but only changed my mind when a pair of very, very cheap Nautilus 805's came up.

The DB1's were very impresssive for the size and price.

Dynaudio's would be my suggestion as well as MA GR10's or some ProAc Tablette's.

GR 10's and Tablettes are wall mountable ?

Brackets?

They are a bit big though ?

Hmmm. I've been revisiting this problem. I could use floor mounted speakers if I rearranged things but they would need to be quite close to the walls. Any suggestions in the same price range?

Thanks
