Hi all, I'm considering upgrading from bookshelf fronts to floorstanders but wondering if it's worth it and would appreciate advice from anyone who has upgraded these exact same speakers.
I currently have Monitor Audio BX2's on Atacama stands and whilst I am happy with the sound, I can't help but think I should have got the BX5's or BX6's but I got a package with the BX2's, centre, sub and BXFX's in a combined package with a Yamaha amp at a great price so couldn't resist.
The BX5's are now out of stock in most places but I've found them for £389 brand new and thinking of ordering but will they be a noticeable difference to the BX2's?
Rough floor plan is as follows with the length of the room being 4.2m and width 3.6m at the widest point giving an area of just over 15 m2.
Rough room layout including couches and approx. speaker placement (Speakers are the red dots or squares, positioning of fronts is wrong and was based on in-wall speakers before I decided on bookshelves).
Ignore the extra surrounds, this is when I was drawing a diagram for 7.1 but went with 5.1. Although thinking about it now, I could always keep the BX2's and upgrade to 7.1?
Let me know if you need any more info.
