Hello
Before I start I appreciate that it's this sort of question is often asked over and over so i'm sorry about that.
Anyway I'm looking to get a new pair of speakers to replace my ageing missions that used to belong to my dad. I have a £200 upper limit as i'm an impoverished student and I will largely be playing mp3 (awful of me, i know) through an external USB sound card from my PC, so there wouldn't be a lot of point in getting extremely high end stuff anyway.
I have been considering the diamond 9.1s. I know they are well respected, and my housemate has a pair and they sound good. However I have a fairly large room that has three solid walls but a big bay window and a fairly thin floor. Considering i'd have to buy stands if I got the 9.1s, do you think it is worth getting the 9.4s? I can't seem to find much about them - do they have all the good points of the 9.1, just in a floorstanding body? Or are they generally considered not quite as good?
I prefer the look of floorstanders and i guess they'd have a bit more authority in a large room like mine. However, if they have bad points that the 9.1s don't have, i'll get the 9.1s, particularly as they would be more versatile in the future should i move to a smaller room and i want to put them on shelves or something.
Thanks for reading and sorry for such a clumisly worded questions.
