Hi
Im looking to upgrade from original MA Radius package and am looking for a definate step up in terms of performance. iVe ben happy with the radius speakers (r270, r225 and r90 rears) but have a larger (4.5m x 4.8m) room now and can accomodate larger speakers. I have a REL stampede sub, Denon 2310 receiver and sony blu ray, my main use is TV and movie but i do listen to a lot of music also via my laptop and will be buying an arcam DAC very soon.
Im looking o first upgrade the front left and right and over the next few months complete the 5.
I have tested some B&W Cm1's which i really liked and the black gloss finish that comes in the standard price is very tempting. These would initially be used as fronts adding a centre in a couple of months but moved to the rear after the purchase of some floor standers, possibly the cm8's later inthe year.
I have been reading around though and have a couple of other options:
Tannoy Revolution signature (same sort of set up as above, bookshelf to start then moving upto floor standers)- ive seen the equivalent speakers to the non signature range for virtually the same price - can anyone see why this would be?
Monitor audio Silver RX - these are a little cheaper than the B&W's but id be going for the gloss balck finish which makes them virtually the same price
Monitor audio Apex (id be getting the small a10's to start then 3 a40's wallmounted at the front)- love the look of these but how well do they compare to a full size speaker?
Im going to try audition all these but cant find a shop near that stock the Tanno'sy instore so I would apreciate any avice in adavnce.
thanks
