I have recently bit the bullet and purchased an Arcam Solo Movie to compliment my Imerge S2000 sound server.
I have a pair of Acoustic Energy AE109 speakers and love the sound they have when used on Arcam equipment. They are over 10 years old and I wanted to originally pair them up with some other speakers to create a 5.1 setup. I have good quality QED speaker cable and interconnects.
AE recommend a NEO1 and NEO7 package to match the AE109s, costing approx £350.00. A local dealer has recommended a Totem package for £3,500.00. This is quite a considerable difference in price.
I appreciate that £3,500 will bring a lot to my listening pleasure but I would like to know if anyone has any ideas or recommendations that might fit between £350 and £3,500. I know that ultimately a test drive will make my final decision but some (hopefully) impartial guidance before hand would be nice.
Cheers
Andy
