Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can help me by recommending some back issues of What HiFi magazine to aid my search for a decent set of surround sound speakers. I have a budget of around £600 (preferable) to £800 (possible) and I really would like to get a better feel for what are considered to be the best performers. Obviously any other guidance/ opinions are also greatly appreciated. Cheers Dave
 
I have the Monitor Audio BR2 AV package, which comes in at the top end of that budget. I am really happy with the results... don't forget that the BR2s are award winners in their own right as standmount speakers. I take it that your budget is just for speakers and not the amplifier to power them? Or are you after a one box wonder?
 
Cheers Tom, yes it's just the speakers I'm after. I have a Pioneer VSX 1016V and I'm looking at a Blu Ray player separately.
 
Consider getting the PS3.. it is a competent Bluray player as well as all the other stuff it can do. I spent ages looking for a set of surround speakers. I think it was about 3 months before I finally comitted to getting the Monitor Audios. If I had to make the decision today, I'd still buy them. Were you after a normal speaker system or a "style"?
 
I'm open the either a traditional or a style speaker package.

Space isn't at a huge premium but then again there aren't any style speakers that have really grabbed me. So I'm probably leaning towards a normal package.
 
Thanks, they all look good! I think I need to arrange a demo session.
