[quote user="ifitsoundsgoodlistentoit"][quote user="gpi"]At this price level I would be looking at floorstanders
If it has to be standmounts because of a small room, .[/quote]
personally, i think that under £1000 standmounts represent the best value for money. The small relatively small enclosure size (and hence production costs) means that more money can be spent on superior drive units. also, dont pressume that a standmount cant fill a big room...
also, when investing this much money for quality standmounts make sure you budget at least £60 to £100 for decent stands![/quote]
Hi, you're preaching to the converted... I love what standmounts can do and am not a big fan of a lot of bass. I just thought, depending on the size of the room, floorstanders could be considered too in this price range, especially when you can compare fine speakers like those in my list to equivalent priced standmounts.
Not sure about your point I've highlighted. Yes in an ideal world we'd only pay for the total material cost of a product's parts but in reality it's not the case. Do you have an example to illustrate this point about a superior driver being used in a standmount against a similarly priced floorstander?
