Decided on the Pioneer VSX-919 but now need to decide on the speakers - Tannoy Mercury F1, QAcoustics 1020 or Wharfedale 9.1 or 10.1

Hello everybody,

I guess I might be repeating some people a little hear but I think I might have something new to question here. My budget might not be as large as many here but I want to start small and I still have many other things I'd like to own and buy

Anyhow, I started with deciding on an AVR, and I'm set on the Pioneer VSX-919. I like the usability with an Ipod and for this price (399 euros) it is hard to beat.

Now for the speakers. I'm not thinking of diving in directly into buying 6 speakers to form the 5.1 system. However I'd want to get compatible speakers to do 2.0 and then upgrade.

I've noticed a lot of people here speaking well of the Qacoustics 5.1 system and how it pairs well with most budget systems. However what about the Wharfedale and Tannoy speakers of the similar budget?

I tend to buy online here in portugal because specialised shops here are always a rip-off. Economies of scale, the market is not big so retailers cannot buy in large quantatities.

I can get any of these speakers online at redcoon (Qacoustics) or the Tannoy and Wharfedale on ebay or (offline) maybe FNAC (expensive) or MediaMarkt (can have good deals).

All the best to everyone

Hi

I also live in Portugal and yes the prices are very high. I am also thinking of buying a new amp and speakers but I have decided on the Onkyo 607 with the Wharfedale 10.1 ( front and rear) 10.cc ( centre spaeker).

The problem with these speakers is that you have to buy them in a store because you canït find them online. The best price I found was in a store called http://www.maquimsom.pt/ . If you buy them in Fnac you have 30 days to try them out.

Good luck

I got most of my stuff on ebay, and free delivery.

Try there, got the 9.1's for 99.95 and 9cc for 50.00
