Hello, many years ago I bought a Celestion A series speaker setup for my living room (6m x 5m, laminate over concrete floor).
It was a 5.1 setup as follows: Front / Stereo pair: A3, centre A4c, rear: A1 and a REL Stentor for a sub.
Whilst it was setup with movies in mind in practice I found myself listening to music 50% of the time.
I've been away from the audio scene for many years and am frankly very out of date with recent developments so I was wondering if anyone could help to identify what suitable replacements would be for these speakers would be?
I'd be looking for something that is good with both music and movies once more.
On the amplification front I'm having a rethink on that (long story) but it would most likely be an Arcam receiver because my previous amplification solution has gone to the audio store in the sky. If anyone has any suggestions on what to pair with their speaker recommendations amp wise I'd be delighted to hear.
Price wise I don't want to spend more than 5 grand on speakers (GBP) if I can help it. Are there speaker packages in this price band that would outperform the Celestions?
Finally I'm happy to consider both new and previously loved kit if your recommendation is now out of production.
Thanks for your help!
