NEW FRONT SPEAKER UPGRADE

[admin_exported]

Hi everyone im looking to upgrade the front speakers to my home cinema setup my budget is around £600 ive been looking at floorstanders and narrowed it down to the mordaunt short aviano 6 in walnut and have just seen these today for £450 a saving of £150 compared with most other online retailers,or do i go for the monitor audio bronze bx5s,or lastly the q acoustic 2050s the cheaper of the three.Both the avianos and the bx5s have received 5 star reviews in this magazine any help or advice from you guys on this forum would be much appreciated.

What centre and rear speakers do you have? That will influence your choice

I have the q acoustic 1010i pack but plan to upgrade 2 fronts first then after christmas the centre,surrounds,and eventually the sub.

You could:

1) Keep rears and add the QA 2000 series centre with the QA 2050 that you buy before xmas...it's not a massive upgrade, but the 1030i made quite a difference to my set up.

2) Audition the Mordaunt Short 6/5/1 (floorstanders/centre/rears) and the Monitor Audio BX5/BX centre/BX1 or BXFX and see which you like....(both would be an improvement over the QA 1010i, but only a slight improvement were you to do option one first.)

3) Save up for a bigger improvement, and look for better floorstanders, like the B&W 684, Monitor Audio RX6 or KEF Q500's... this idea would also depend on what other equipment you current have. If you have a £300 receiver, then option one or two would be fine.....

Hope that helps a bit......
