Would really appreciate some help with my current system surrounding speaker choice.
I have decided to separate and up date my current home entertainment system. I bought a marantz cr503 to listen to music instead of using my current onkyo sr608 av amp. I went for manrantz as had great looks (and well reviewed) but needed it to be compact for my kitchen. As I use a logitech touch and squeezebox to stream music via a 4tb nas drive hence went for cr503 not cr603 as don't need streaming ability saving me £125.
The sr608 sits in my living room (4m x 5m) and now acts as my dedicated amp for movies albeit casual use for music at parties etc. Amp is linked to Sanyo plz-z700 full hd projector and Sony bdp-s370 bluray, squeezebox duet and wdtv live streamer.
This leads to my problem, speakers. I have a range of full sized morduant short speakers some dating back to 2005. Very interested in kef t105 flat technology speakers (as reviewed in march 2011 what hi fi) as they discreet (which is why i want them), but will it perform well against what I already have and fill the room size? Or will I be disappointed?
Also, i'm pretty set I will buy the tanoy v1 speakers as what hi fi recommends (in addition to b&w 385) for marantz unless i could be talked out of it for a good reason? These speakers need to be bookshelf, again keeping it all compact.
