Has anyone had a chance to audition some mid-range home cinema set ups?
I'm looking for a system that will work well for music as well as movies. I'm planning an upgrade to my trusty sub/sat system (Kef eggs with a Sony STR-DB795) to a larger set up that can make the most of the new HD sound formats, and ideally will work well with music from CDs and (gasp!) an iPod. I need 2 HDMI outputs to connect both a TV and projector. Budget is around £3,000 total.
From my research around I'm drawn to the Dali Ikon 5.1 speaker package or the Monitor Audio RX6 AV-12. On the AVR side the Yamaha RX-V 2065 and the Marantz SR 6004 both look like they will fit the bill, unfortunately nowhere nearby has them to demo yet.
Does anyone have any experience with these, or any thoughts on other components to join the shortlist?
Cheers
