Hi guys.
I am in the market for a surround system to complement my Pioneer 50" plasma, I have about £1500 - £2000 to spend.Having read as many reviews for both Amp & Speaker pakages on this site and having visited shops in Liverpool,Manchester & Wigan, Armed with this Knowledge I have concluded that as with Television purchases, it comes down to individual personal preference! Every time i think i have my ideal package, someone throws a spanner in the works, so in a real quandary i turn to you for guidence .
Do i spend more on a good amp than on the speakers, do I try and even out the cost, or spend more on the speakers,???
Please , if you would give me your opinion on the following equipment, in any order or as writen.
1 . Denon Avr2310, Kef 2005.3 Or Kef 3005SE (Van Den Hul HDMI cable)
2. Pioneer VSX1019 or VSX919, B&W 685 (Van Den Hul HDMI able)
3. Denon Avr 2310, B&W685
4.PIoneer VSX1019,Bose AM10
5. any amp above with MonitorAudio ?
Every shop has their own opinion, e.g The only difference between Pioneer 1019 & 919 is HDMI slots, no difference in quality?The Kef 2005 with cube 2, is as good as the Kef 3005SE although £500 cheaper? Its a minefield.
sorry to harp on, but need to make the correct decision first time around, cant afford to muck up.
cheers Oggy
