Speakers package for £700ish

[admin_exported]

Need some advice please, trying to help my brother set up his system. He's got my old 606 amp and had purchased the Q acoustics 1010 5.1 system from RS in black for £250 but hes now changed his mind and wants something in a wood colour, preferably floorstanders budget £700 ish. So far he seen the old AE Neos 5.1 and the MA Bronze BR6 5.1 online both for around £730 is there anything better about for the money ?? Cheers __________________

Probably not, unless you can find bargain Tannoy F4 customs, like here......?

The Neo 5.1 package (now the V2 with better finishes IMHO) is a stunning package for the money - although its cheaper, its also worth considering the Q Acoustics 2000 5.1 as it's more compact and does pack quite a punch for the money. If your budget permits, it's also worth considering an Aelite package of sorts - whilst the 5.1 package might blow the budget a bit, you could put together a very impressive package with two pairs of Aelite Ones, an Aelite Centre and sub.

Another vote for the Neo's. Superb speakers and a lot of sound for your money!

Thanks for the links Pete much appreciated but he's currently leaning towards the 1st gen neos over the v2 ones as..... " they're a better colour finish for my lounge ! "
