Upgraditis has bitten hard and I am beginning to think that the Front Left and Right plus Centre are due for an upgrade, and also the sub
I reckon the sub is straightforward by going for a BK Monolith (???), had a e mail chat with them and that was their recommendation however I have questions around the Front Left and Right speakers
Assuming this will be based on either the KEF Q300 or Q500 speakers with a Q200C I have the following to consider;
If the Q300 has a frequency range of 45Hz to 40kHz and the Q500 has a frequency range of 42Hz to 40kHz and that the bass management from my amp will be set at a nominal 80/100Hz to the sub, is there a compelling reason not to use the Q300 as standmounts, would they be "worse" than the Q500 as floor standers, I ask as I am assuming that the sub (be it the new BK or the existing REL) would certainly be the dominant factor/force below 80Hz, therefore would the Q300 be the wise choice or is this a classic case of a good big'un always being better than a good littl'un, assuming that the Q500 is indeed good?
Secondly, is this overkill for a room size of 4m x 4.5m with FLC speakers and TV across the 4m end and a viewing/listening positioned at 3.5m along the 4.5m side
Quite a few questions/considerations however keen to get expert thinking and to get it right.
Thanks
