Diamond 9.1 is a great speaker, as is the Tannoy Mercury F1, but there are other options depending on what your other kit is?

my other kit consists of a onkyo 606 av amp, arcam cd,and some wharfedale dimond 1 (old school) as my rears and a mourdaunt short center. im using my ps3 for my dvd/blue ray anything else u need to know.

 

[John Duncan]

No, that's fine. In which case I would stick with either the Diamonds or the Tannoys - the Diamonds are a little better (both sonically and aesthetically) but the Tannoys are spectacular value, you pays your money.

One additional option, though I didn't really like them (some here love them), are the Mordaunt Short 902i, which may give you a better sonic balance across the front, bearing in mind your centre speaker.

cheers for that where is the best place to buy and listen to them both, i here richersounds are very good

 

[John Duncan]

They are and they usually stock all three, but often their demo facilities are limited (I think they're sorting that out) - check with your local branch.
