Recommendation For A Decent Sound System.

[insane 0]

Bro I notice you havent decided on your HTS yet (between Mythos & the B&W MT30)

The MT30 consists of M1 sat speakers & the very brilliant but expensive PV-1 sub.

PV-1 sub can be easily replaced by a velodyne Minivee (slightly cheaper but better performance) or a SVS PB10.

I suggest you go for the B&W 600 series & replace the B&W AS602 sub with any velodyne, paradigm or SVS sub.

IMHO, Mythos is good for movie watching but a bit "thin" for music listening. B&W speakers tends to be quite warm for music.

Cheers

the 685? Too big for my LR.

agree with u that mythos perform better in movie then in music. That's y now I can't decide which to go for.

685 is a book shelf speakers leh while Mythos are floor standers. You sure you not talking about

the B&W 800 diamond series?

yup. The 685 are too big for my console. The mythos I can mount them beside the tv. The design of my console don cater for bookshelf speakers. That's y I only audition the sats n mythos which can fit in nicely.

heard denon 2310 with mythos

yamaha rx-v1065 with MT30.

Movie wise mythos will be better then MT30. But music wise, MT30 sounds better.

But TEG only have yamaha avr, can't hook up with 2310 for a fair comparision. Unless I go back KEC ask them hook up the rx-v1065 with the mythos. But duno they have the avr anot.

Im using the 1065 currently. Going to change to Onkyo 708 when its out. The Onkyo 608 is not bad, in fact better than my 1065.

Denon can dump it. Already got a buyer for my 1065.

Hi All,

Does anyone know how much the Tannoy Arena cost ?

Hi Fi mag are good for reference check but a lousy indicator.

Its best you audition them. KEC has moved to a bigger space in Adelphi (4th floor) & it has all the amps

you can audition.

From my experience, Denon's manual can really test your patience. Ive a friend whom until today, has not

bring the best out of his Denon amp.

Tannoy Arena is not cheap but quality is quite solid & has lots of WAF.

The price without receiver & without Tannoy stand is about $3.5-3.8K.

At this price, I may suggest you try the B&W 600 series set up before

committing.

If u like mini speakers, there's the B&W MT20/25/30 series.

Bookshelf speakers 685 & 686.

I would suggest the latter. Do audition before deciding.

thanks vinny,

I don't know why, I have never been big on "mini" speakers..

I am still doing some budget sizing, hence my question on the Arena...

would you recommend any other Tannoy set ups ?
