I had a demo of the MT-30's yesterday at my local(ish) Audio T, and was quite impressed with what I heard, especially when compared to the Focal 5.1 which they recommended I listened to which were around the same money (£1500). The questions I have are as follows:
1. The guy in the shop told me that the subwoofer PV1 is great aesthetically, however you can get cheaper and better subs. He recommended REL (?), but just wanted to know what your recommendations are.
2. The price of the entire MT-30 with PV1 is £1500, just wanted to know if anyone has bought a system recently and did they get a deal and if so what, as this might help me in my negotiations.
3. They offered me the ex-demo set for 20% off RRP, is this a good deal and how do I know that they are good quality and haven't been hammered ?.
I'm relatively new to all of this and I just want to make sure that I make the right decision.
Thanks.
PS: I think that I have decided on the Onkyo TX-SR806 Receiver £450 in my local Richer Sounds. Hopefully this is a good choice.
