Quickie: BX2 or BX5?

[jakja83]

I am contemplating whether to get BX2s as my main speakers in a combined music and HT setup, or the BX5s. Money isn`t a big issue, and I will get a sub to use either way.

Which is the better choice in a 4 by 4 meter room? I already have good stands so that is not an issue? I must pay 35% more for the BX5s + center than the BX2 package.

Hi jakja83

All the best

Would be much of comparison if the BX2 where on stand mounts? I've read a few post and articles stating Stand Mount speakers sound better than floorstanders

In a combined music/HT set-up where money isn't an issue, it's an easy choice as Rick says...floorstanders to the front, standmounters at the rear, matching centre and voila a very impressive HT system...sub later (only if required really)...

Well, my dealer said the BX2 would be a very good choice and almost certainly be easier to "get to work properly" in my room - therefore I went with it - but I have the option to pay the difference in money and get BX5 if I am not satisfied with the 2's. Seems like a good deal I think.

Now I am going on a subwoofer search, I have read the Monitor subs aren`t that good for HT, is that true?
