Would a HiFi setup sound better than a home cinema setup for music?

If I use the Pioneer Sc-lx81 amp for stereo with these speakers will I need to use the mic for setup or will plug and play do? Thanks.

Do you also plan on integrating those speakers into the surround set up?

If so, then ideally you need to run the MCACC to calibrate it all.

Once set up you can simply put it in stereo mode (this still keeps the MCACC settings) or Pure Direct (disables the MCACC settings) and see which way you think sound better.

Cool, thanks. I think I am going to cancel the speakers and just use my current set up, and experiment for stereo and Pure Direct mode on my AV set up. That way I have a very expensive amp and subwoofer combined with high class speakers too. I think it will sound inferior to my current set up otherwise. Cheers.

And use my dad’s floorstanders instead.

Stereo mode sounds way better than Pure Direct. 👍

If I don’t integrate it into my av set up, call you still do the mic set up for just 2 speakers and av receiver? Thanks

Just cancelled the B&W pair and ordered the Monitor Audio Silver 200 7th gen as I saw these the other day in R/S and liked them. And Jason and WHF have given them excellent reviews. Paid £800 ex-display and that’s me done for sure now! 🙂
