I need a cheapish AV system
Amps I have to choose from are:
Sony STG 820 (I think) cheap at £230 ish
Denon 1909 - Prefered, but prices just went up (got to be black unfortunately)
Onkyo 606 - Middle ground I think
However, Im looking at speaker packs to go with them
The Q Accoustics 1010i seems to get good reviews - but I have heard there a little toppy? No a bad thing for definition, but I prefere a warm sound. There also the most expensive Im looking at, so may put the 1909 out of reach.
3 other sets are within price, but I havent seen review of either - so how do they compare to each other, and the 1010i. They are:
Mission MV 5.1 - getting close to 1010i price
Tannoy SFX 5.1 - can be had for £150, but are they any good
Denon SYS-57HT - around £300 so good value?
Cheapest mix is the Sony amp and Tannoy speakers at £380 which sounds a steal
Most expensive is the 1909 and 1010is at over £900 - a bit pricey for me (ideally £600-£800)
The Denon Speakers and 1909 maybe fit together, and at £800 (Black) or £700 IF the missis can live with silver could be doable?
Or I could put them with the Sony for £530.
So any of these much worse than the others? any shine?
Many thanks
