Hi all,
Hope i'm posting in the right place etc, im new to forums, never used one before but this is my second post today....
If i've done my settings properly you should see a list of my setup below, and although quite low-end by many peoples' opinions here, it is sufficient for me. I know many people here also don't like Harman Kardon, but I have very specific listening tastes and their sound does it for me... Plus I have no interest in video outputs or modern DSP settings that other Japanese equipment can do.
Anyway, i'm after some speakers for my H/K setup, I heard some B&W XT series speakers on a Yamaha amp and liked the sound, and the PV1 sub was technically impressive but maybe a little poor performing for my tastes - the whole speaker set looked nice though. Also i've read that Axiom Epic 80 speakers work very well with H/K stuff due to the high current amp and 4 ohm speaker load requirement on the M80ti front speakers. However, being a online company, my chances of getting to hear some are slim, and I am a bit concerned the dual tweeter configuration will be too 'bright' for me. Finally, if i went with the B&W set, I might change the sub for a SVS PB13-ultra. I have heard this and I liked the depth and power available.
Are there any other options of speakers like this out there to consider? I like a very clean sounding setup but one with plenty of low end 'warmth' or 'rich bass' sound (but not muddy) and not too much treble. The cost is not too much of a problem, although probably quite low compared to some peoples' standards here, i.e. a full 5.1 speaker set I would pay up to £4000, or just a sub about £1200.
Thanks in advance and please tell me if I do anything wrong regarding posting etc in forums, you wont hurt my feelings...lol
