I've only auditioned the GS20 (by far my favorite speakers).... but I know HiFi World auditioned and loved both the 60 and 20... The auditions were years apart though... As for the differences between the two, as far I know, the GS60's only advantage is deeper bass... so unless you have a very large room and need to really crank up the bass, I'd stick with the GS20....

Ok thanks well the only reason i asked is that my local shop has the GS20's on offer very good deal my friends local shop has the 60's on offer for £50 less than the 20's! He said he could pick them up for me if i wanted!ÿ
IMO get the 60s - apart from the cracking deal you have - the more musical information you can get your speakers to do the better. Will sound cleaner at higher volumes - just make sure your amp is up to the job.
May I ask what the price of the 60s are? I have just completed my setup with my only purchase being the Denon DVD 2500. Got the GS60s/ GS10s/ GS LCR all for 1900 in Gloss Black

IMO i'd be going for the GS20's; to me thay'd be the right upgrade from your GS10's.
Also; have you considered changing from QED speaker cable to Chord; i did this when i had my M/A RS6 speakers and it made a world of difference!
The GS20's are superb speakers; plenty of gusto and i think would suit your amp well; the GS60's are big speakers and IMO; need hell of a lot of good amplification to make them sing at their best!

I had a listen to the GS60's yesterday funnily enough, and loved them. you get a more three-dimensional soundstage and a more open and detailed sound. "approachable" is the word i would use to describe them;-)

Are you using the 905 as your stereo amp? If so, I would say that the 20s would be better for you.

Hi Vinny yes i got the GS10's Yesterday as my rears going for the same set up as you! Either 20/60 as fronts as you have probably guessed, the 60's are £1100.
Hi sorry should have said bought the 10's yesterday for use as my rears using my old speakers in the meantime.ÿ
ÿSpeaker cable wise i do want to change that and was looking at the Atlas Hyper bi wire but had also considered the chord not sure what to go for.
The 20s or 60s would be fronts in my set up would my 905 not be powerful enough for the 60's? Im looking at getting a stereo amp probably the Primare I30 or Quad 909/99p as ive been offered a good deal but was waiting for what i settled on speaker wise!

Ah, you are moving the goalposts! If you get the Primare I30, get the GS60s! The 905, albeit a brilliant AV receiver is not worthy of the GS20s, in my opinion, let alone the GS60s.

If you plan to get the HIFI Amp then defo go for the GS60s. Just make sure your 2 channel (HIFI) amp has a Home Theater throughput to make connecting everything easier. Great price btw
Hi sorry yes should have made things clearer, i probably go 60/40 movies/music will the 60's be a good speaker movie wise with the onkyo? im guessing for the next couple of months the Onkyo will just do the job music wise before i pick up a stereo amp? Thanks for everyones help with this!ÿ
Vinny7 did you get all yours from the same place? 1900 for the 3 is very good! Im struggling to find the centre at a good price at the min!

For movies, they will be great if you match with the centre.

I've not heard the Stampede but have read it's good. My RSW12 is a beast and I'm guessing the Gold version is even better!

I do really like it how it integrates with the MA set up i guess time will tell! I did see the B&W PV1 which i had to be dragged away from!
