Hi all,
I'm one step closer to home cinema utopia as I purchased a Denon 2130 at the weekend to accompany my Sony 40EX503 and 370 bluray player.
The final question is speakers!
I have listened to KEF 2005.3, Q Accoustic 2000, B&W 685 cinema pack, MA BR5, Kef IQ50s and B&W 684s.
Rather an electic mix but I was trying to get an idea of quality at different prices points and feel for how many speakers I need.
Out of everything I heard the stand outs were listening to "The Panther" on the 685s, Sting Live on the Q Accoustics and everything I heard on the 684s!
The one I'm missing is hearing the B&W MT-25 pack, which should happen on Saturaday.
My system is used for 60% cinema and 40% music.
Currently I'm thinking of getting the 684s and adding an B&W M1 as a centre speaker. I understand on the Denon you can route the sub channel through the front speakers, so that would get the full front setup.
Maybe I would get rear speakers later, but with the cost of everything thus far I would like a setup that I'm happy with today, rather than wishing away another 6 months until I can complete things.
Any thoughts on this setup?
Thanks,
Ian
