Hi all, I’ve had a great entry level setup for about seven years with the Tannoy SFX 5.1. Recently the sub died and I splashed out on a BK XLS-200-DF, which turned out to be a hell of an upgrade.
I’m now thinking about upgrading the speakers, I have read great things about the Q Acoustics 3020i (3090i for centre), and was also considering saving for a while and going with the ELAC Debut 5.2 (or 6.2).
I’ve just seen the 3020i and 3090i in a clearance sale, only £249 for both which seems like too good a deal to miss and is bang on my budget. I just want to know:
The rest of the setup:

I’ve just seen the 3020i and 3090i in a clearance sale, only £249 for both which seems like too good a deal to miss and is bang on my budget. I just want to know:
- Is this going to be a noticeable upgrade?
- Is it a bad idea to mix front and rear speaker types (the rear Tannoys will stay...for now)
- Is there really ~£250 of difference between the 3020is and Debuts?
- (obligatory) are they a good match for the amp/sub?
The rest of the setup:
- Yamaha RX-V383 (only about 2yrs old)
- Room size 5m*3.5m, though the setup sits in one half
- Used mainly for gaming (Xbox OX), films (Netflix and blu ray), and sometimes music typically via the Xbox Spotify app
