I've recently upgraded my AVR to the Sony STR-DN1080 and, in the process, swapped the front speakers of my Jamo A 102 HCS package with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.1. (Bizarrely, I had been using the Wharfedale only for music as Zone 2, though they are positioned next to the Jamo).
What a difference!!
The downside is that now I want to upgrade the rest of the home theatre speakers! I love the way the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 sound and they are plenty good for the use I make of them (playing music in the living room and now watching movies; not too loud because I have neighbours upstairs) so I'd like to keep them and get speakers that fit with them.
This is what I have in mind; thoughts? The budget I've given myself is around £300.
Makes sense? Doesn't? Anything obvious I am missing?
My system (in the living room):
Use: watching movies over the weekend (not too loud, I have kids and neighbours) and playing music in the background (kids get in the way of sitting down and listening properly!).
Thank you!
