Cantona7 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Budget around 3K for the 5.1 wall mount rear speaker. Looking at B&W MT-30 or Anthony Galieo round satalite speaker.Just want to check anything else that others would like to get for a decent HT & hifi sound.ThanksBro if u are looking for a decent hifi sound & HT, I suggest u take the floorstand spks since u have the space. B&W MT-30 is good only for HT cos of their award wining sub but still consider pricing if I were you go for the floorstand since nw there have a new series of 600 model. Really a big diff comparing the satalite spk and floorstand spks cos I really regret getting my S602 instead of S603. If you can wait, I think the International Sound Exhibition is coming these few months, maybe u can save ur bullets for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifestyle 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks bro for the info. Agree with you too. I really like the floor standing speakers like 603 & GS20 but it just can't match with my TV console (long stretch type).Guess will have to listen the new B&W 604 series when arrived here and ISE show.Bro if u are looking for a decent hifi sound & HT, I suggest u take the floorstand spks since u have the space.
