Hi All,
I'm putting together a long(ish) term plan for for a 2 channel set-up incorporating my current TV, blu-ray player and Nintendo Wii. Usage will be predominately TV and films and 'background' music, so I don't need or want the last word or nth degree of 'hifi' reproduction. Rather something musical and good with speech for TV and movies. I'm thinking of an all in one solution like the new Marantz M-CR603 (I heard, and loved, the 503 with Kef Q300s). However I have laways preferred the aesthetics of floorstanders over standmounts on stands, but here's the rub...
The left hand speaker has to go in a space approximately 15 inches wide, the LHS being constrained by a side wall and the RHS by the TV. The other speaker will have the TV immediately on one side but has about 6 feet between it and the other side wall. The speakers cannot come far into the room.
From reading on here I'm led to believe there is a good chance of the 'bass getting itself in a twist' due to the positioning constraints. Any thoughts here, as the title says, 'Would I really be better off with standmounts'?
Thanks,
Dave
