Background -
I'm not going to be spending any more money for quite a while, having just purchased a Lyngdorf TDAi 3400 to integrate with my 5.1 system, but there's nothing wrong with planning ahead, and I'm thinking speakers may be my next *change*, if not *upgrade*
I'm positing here rather than in the cinema section because my priority with always be stereo music but, nonetheless, whatever I might consider buying would need to have a matching centre and surround speakers - and I much prefer a centre speaker that looks like it's designed specifically for the job, with appropriate dimensions to sit under a TV.
So, my question -
What wall-mounted speakers would be capable of equalling or beating my current set up, and how much would I need to spend? -
PMC OB1i front L&R
PMC CB6i centre
PMC DB1i surrounds
The wall mounted speakers would, of course, we used with a subwoofer (or two).
I'm thinking probably passive rather than active, not least because I splashed out to get the extra power (400W) from the more expensive of the Lyngdorf offerings, but I am open minded.
I wouldn't particularly want something big and ugly.
In the past I've been very impressed by some Elac speakers I've heard (some floor standers, about £3500 I think), and I like the look of their on-wall speakers, which seem quite modestly priced compared to current PMC speakers, but I'm not sure that JET tweeter would sound very good off axis.
I think Dali also make some that may be affordable.
Apart from M&K, I don't know what else is out there.
Thanks,
David.
