Have a look into the Cambridge Audio Minx speakers, I sampled some at Richer Sounds and they are phenomenally good for their size.

Well... In all honesty, I did my homework. I Sampled the Boston's / Cambridge Audio / KEF amongst others at my local home audio shop and I beg to differ.
The Bose outright was the better quality sounding speaker in that size and category with the right amp hence me buying them for my application.
I suppose everyone has their own preference for room size etc.
Personally I'm over the moon with how they perform.

Monitor Audio MASS is in that price range too. Supposed to be great, though I've never seen them in stores around here.

Not surprisingly, that Bose kit looks overpriced. Definitely other kits I'd be looking at in that price range.

Thanks guys.

Yeah wires all chased into the wall and plastered in. Just need the AV gear now lol.



Definetly seems to be some good package deals around. Was going to go to Richer sounds yesterday but I'm on a deadline to get skirting down before carpet gets laid on Friday so it will have to wait

Are you plumbing the wiring into the walls and plastering?

If so then I'd advise doing it right mate. You'll not regret it. I've had Bose 5.1 Acoustimass-6 in my living room for years now and its fantastic. Mines all plumbed into the walls with no wires on show. All running off an Onkyo Amp.



You can get some cracking deals on this setup these days.

depends on budget

Q Acoustics 7000 range for small speakers
Q Acouctics 2000i if you can get away with book self speakers

The Boston ones and Cambridge ones are very good for the cost

And I believe you'll find all of these represented in the Home Cinema thread. :lol:

Minx family is definitely a good option.

As are Boston Acoustics XS and Wharfedale Diamond.

Q-Acoustics 2020i might be worth looking at, if you don't require tiny speakers.

And yeah, ignore wattage. Your AVR will not be outputting 400w per channel anyway.

These?

Oh really? How comes? I mean I couldn't imagine they're being much power in such small speakers but on the Curry's website they advertise speakers at 400W whereas on Richer Sounds they were barely 100 most of them, so I thought it must come into play somehow. (I will admit I am a noob at all this stuff)

Cheers I'll have a look. Would be nice just to get everything from Richer Sounds and pick it up from the Maidstone store.

Just looking for a little guide to decent places I can look for small wall mounted surround speakers. My current set are floor standing ones and I am changing as the house doesn't have room for floor ones plus it looks smarter with little wall mounted. I'm looking to buy an amp from Richer Sounds but their speaker choice isn't amazing nor are they very powerful, even ones on Curry's website are more powerful according to the technical spec. So just wondering where is a decent place to look/buy from?

Not looking to spend loads as decorating whole living room plus buying an amp, wasn't expecting to need speakers and I need a sub too as my current one is passive but all modern amps seem to need active subs. Any suggestions welcome, thanks!
