Monitor Audio R180 AV12 5.1 System

[Ronald Archiebald]

Good morning,

Does anyone have this system? It is composed of 5 R180 speakers and 1 RSW12 Subwoofer. I know the subwoofer is astounding but how are the R180's?

As these can be used as a centre and front and rear speakers, I wonder how they sound. Also, will these speakers balance ok on speaker stands upright, since it's shaped like a centre really.

Is it the best value for £600.00?

Thank you.

if you can get this for £600, do so without hesitation! It will blow any style system away under £1.5k.

I would wall mount them all if possible.

They sound fab

Hello Gerard,

Wall mounting isn't really an option for me, as I would prefer my speakers on stands. So, would you suggest I discard this idea and maybe consider something like the Q Acoustics 2000 instead?

Thank you.

Hello Big Boss,

I thought they sounded really good too, considering that monster subwoofer.

I was considering the Q Acoustics when I saw this offer from Peter Tyson. Just not quite sure how the R180's will stand on speaker stands as they are not shaped like conventional bookshelf speakers.

Thank you.
