KEF 1005 or KEF 2005 ?

[admin_exported]

Hi there can somebody please advise me on this. I am just setting up my first ever 'Home Cinema' system and have already bought a Sony 1200es Receiver and have Sky HD and a PS3. I am gonna get some KEF 5.1 surround speakers need to know if its better to spend a bit extra and get the 2005 KEF speakers? I have been offered a vary good price for both models from a suplier but the 2005 model work out at £160 more. So my question is would it be worth while to strech the bank a bit and get the better model or is there not much difference between the 2?

Any advise welcome!

Thanks

Hi Andy,

The 1005's are damn fine for the money (typical price £300), but the 2005's will best them in every way - as they should at typically double the price. They usually cost around £600, but if you really can get them for just £160 more than the 1005's, i'd recommend it. As befits a slightly larger set-ip, you'll get a bigger, more muscular sound, and if you plan to listen to MP3 tracks from your PS3's hard drive (forget it for CDs - woeful) the 2005s are more musical, too.
