Hey all ... (go easy on me I'm new to this) ... I started off looking at Bose, and quickly moved away from that idea as I read more and more about how little you're getting for the money. I did have a listen to them a couple of different stores earlier on, and had surprisingly different experiences of the same system - one quite ordinary, the other pretty decent.
As I'm sure happens to a lot of people I'm having to adjust my budget as I listen to systems / read reviews and forums, etc.
I have two sets of equipment in mind at the moment and would really value some feedback / suggestions on which system / receiver combination you think sounds better / would work better together.
I've had a listen to some of this equipment below, but hope to listen to each setup this weekend.So the options I'm looking at so far are ...
(Oh, the amounts below are in Australian dollars - I'm in Australia - though also a UK citizen, and would consider buying from the UK if it made sense financially)
SPEAKERS / SUBWOOFER
(1) Bowers & Wilkins MT-25 Best price I've seen so far AUD$2299
(2) Bowers & Wilkins MT-30 Best price I've seen so far AUD$3395
(3) KEF KHT 3005SE Best price I've seens so far AUD$1700
RECEIVERS
(1) Onkyo TX SR608 Best price I've seen so far AUD$950
(2) Pioneer VSX-LX53 Best price I've seen so far AUD$1499
My initial budget was AUD$2000, so I'm well above it with any of these ... don't go too crazy!
Any advice you can give me greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Adam
