Okay, moved to a new house and the 'better half' has insisted that the B&W 600 and 601's i use as surrounds in my 7.1 set up are way too big (sadly i have to agree though) - so they're sold / being banished to the dining room for my stereo set up, and now i need a new set of surrounds quite small. To add insult to injury my B&W centre has been attacked by both the cats and niece (both should be sent to siberia as a result). That leaves me with a dilema, my wharfedale pacific evo30's are staying as left and right channels - i wasn't giving in that much, so i was thinking of buying a mini 5.1 set up to work alongside then wharfe's, centre as centre but other 4 speakers to make a 7.1 system which gets the other half approval aestheticallywithout losing too much in the all important audio stakes. I don't want to get rid of the wharfe's i really like the sound, and bass they produce, and the whole thing's driven by the Onkyo 605.....any ideas on what i can look at to compliment both them and still give me decent surround? I'm on a limited budget so on the shortlist so far are the Jamos at the £200 price area, and the Kefs (1005.2 maybe 2005). Any advice gratefully received (getting rid of the missus, cats and niece very temting but sadly not an option....😉)
