    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    Meanwhile I got the PSBs. As the PSBs were not brand new, so I could immediately start listening. They were really good, but I missed something. I liked them more than the Tannoys, but they just didn't convinced me totally. Luckily there was no problem returning them and now, a pair of Q...

    Is this common? (Should I Return this Speaker?)

    I would also return them.

    DOES SIZE MATTER ?

    I used two 10m 2.5mm² ordinary copper cables for my bookshelf speakers. I didn't notice any differences as I shortened them to 4m and 6m. As lindsayt wrote, just try it.

    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, the XR listed on Amazon.co.uk is not shipped to Germany and avbristol.co.uk (who ship to Germany) do not offer MS. If you buy them in GER, the XR version is 300€ :mad: BUT! I spotted a pair of 2. hand PSB Alpha B1 for about 200€ here in Germany. I...

    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    I found some 2. hand Aviano 1 on ebay's small ads. Do you know the difference between the original one and the XR version? Can one hear the difference? [edit] Also found 2. hand Mission MX2 speakers, which rated 4 Stars too. Wonder why the MX2 got "only" 4 stars while MX1 won an award....

    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    There are some manufactures here in Germany which produce decent entry level speakers. I had Heco and Magnat speakers and still own Magnet Vector 203 which are very good at it's price. Don't like the entry level Cantons, as for my personal taste they sound too bright. Don't familiar with Elac...

    Thanks for the recommendation. I read a lot about these speakers and they are also available in Germany. Unfortunately their price raised recently, so they are a little bit over the budget now. Also they are well known in Germany and I wanted something different ;)

    Even more "Ouch" is a pair gloss black/white which is around 500€ Also a pair of Mission MX1 is around 250€ compared to 119£... Only the Tannoys are relatively cheep atm, at around 130€. But this is a limited special offer. Only a few left... At normal Price they are at around 220€

    Hello, 199€ per speaker. So a pair Qs would be around 400€. Thomas

    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    Thanks for that link. That reads very convincing. Unfortunately Q Acoustics are not very common in Germany (found just two online shops - selling them for around 199€ per speaker). Therefore I want to order them in the UK. Amazon oder av-bristol, which deliver to Germany. So event with...

    Bookshelf speakers, budget around £150

    Hello! tried to find the information I was looking for by reading the budget speakers threads I found. But still not sure which one to order. My amp is a Denon DRA 700 AE. I listen to e.g. Munford and Sons, Kate Nash, Of Monsters and Men, Gemma Hayes and ... CDs. The listening room is...
