Hi guys,
I am looking for a stylish surround system and I need opinions on these speakers because it is impossible to get good extensive auditions where I live.
The front 3 channels will be wall mounted around a plasma TV while the back 2 will be on stands right behind my sofa. The system has to be small and stylish, by the way, because I'm going to have a dedicated system with tower speakers in another room in the future.
I've narrowed my search down to these speakers:
Kef KHT6000 ACE + Sub http://www.kef.com/kefamerica/KHT/KHT6000ACE/home.htm
or
Tannoy Arena Highline 500 http://www.tannoy-speakers.com/s.php?product=207
Both look really good to me in black and IMO both have pretty good sound.
FYI, the Tannoys won annual awards from 'What Hi-Fi', 'Home Theatre Choice' and EISA and received recommendations from both 'Home Theater Magazine' and 'Ultimate AV Magazine'.
OTOH, the Kef is highly recommended by 'The Absolute Sound' and 'AVGuide Monthly'.
Please kindly offer your opinion if you have any experience with either or both systems.
Thank you.
