Help with choice of speakers

[admin_exported]

Hi can someone please help me decide which set of speakers to get...

Short list is

Mordaunt Short Alummi System

Tannoy Arena Lite

Q Accoustics 1010i*2

I am looking at something around the £300 to £450 mark to be powered of the Sony STRDG820 amp

Can't comment on the Tannoy's although they now seem at a great price, but the Q acoustics 1010i sound good with an Onkyo amp, beware it's alot bigger than the other sats and a rather large centre. Mordant and short alummi i was not impressed with to me unatural sounding and a little bright. Also consider the Kefs 2005.3 i think i seen them in silver at Richer Sounds for £450, much better then the Mordant and shorts. So i would go for the Q Acoustics good crisp natural sound for the price also easy to upgrade, but if you find them to big then Tannoy vs Kefs should be the way to go.
