    Kef Egg (2005) vs T series

    Thinking about replacing / upgrading my Kef 2005 system. Would a T301 centre be better than a 3001? Any opinions in the V720 or V700? Any other wife friendly centres? Not going to get away with a shoe box below the TV!

    Recommend me a all-in-one soundbar please :)

    Friends...I've narrowed this down to either sticking with my existing 5.1 Kef 2005 setup and upgrading the centre to a 3005 or getting a Kef V700 soundbar to use with my existing sub (thus dispensing with the amp). The amp I have is a Sony STR-DB900 QS receiver. Appreciate any advice as I...

    Recommend me a all-in-one soundbar please :)

    Sorry to jump in. I'm in a similar position..about to buy a Sony X85 TV, not sure whether it is worth getting the package deal on the upgraded HT-CT381 soundbar (will cost me £149 withnthe TV) or just to leave and buy something separately. I have a Kef 2005 surround setup but tempted the...

    Speakers on laminate floor?

    There's not enough of it. In addition to the floor there is glass all round the room: too many reflective surfaces suck the lower freq and magnify the mids and highs. So trying to what little I can to improve the situation. I guess another question - do I want to couple or isolate the speakers...

    Speakers on laminate floor?

    I have experimented with the positioning and have them pretty much settled now. Some people mention placing speakers on granite plinths improves bass. Hence the question about placing them directly on the floor as they have plinths built in.

    Tannoy TS2.10 or REL T5?

    Andrew - interestingly in the main review I read on the TS2.12 they tried to integrate it with Tannoy Precision floorstanders. Issue was the minimum freq setting on the sub was 50hz which, in their view, caused some overlap with the main speaker. The T5 however can be set a lot lower

    Tannoy TS2.10 or REL T5?

    Need a sub to compliment my Tannoy Precision 6.2LE speakers. Room is about 25 Sq/m with a lot of reflective surfaces. Choice is between the above, Tannoy new at £249, Rel second hand around £175. Will be used for music only.

    Add preamp or replace amp?

    Thanks Andrew....I think the smaller one, the TS2.10, will do the trick. Any advice on colour *biggrin* :-)

    Add preamp or replace amp?

    Evening all...so spent a couple of hours listening this evening with the MS SUb..I think this is the option to go with (Mats options 3 :-)). So next question which I know you're all eager to help with.....what's a decent music sub? I'd don't mind second hand or new, budget is around £300. (I'm...

    Add preamp or replace amp?

    Thanks guys - yes I've fiddled with the positioning and placed in an old MS sub (set at the lowest volume and cross over) and there is certainly an improvement. TBH I think the introduction of more bass friendly, higher gauge speaker cable speaker cable (have some 4mm QED on order and a larger...
