All sifus, what do you think about the following system (without sub)? Which one would you pick out of the three system for 80% movies and 20% music? blush.gif I think the price range is about the same... Need your input, please....

I prefer the whole whole setup with same brand... Lektor 8, Paradigm Studio 60, Revel F12, & Monitor Audio FX6 are in the same range (size).... but I don't like Lektor center and surround... so kind of struggling here....

Thanks, SiriuslyCold. I tested Revel F12 in Singapore and it sounds beautifully. Actually all these speakers system are getting very good review from other forums but don't know which one is better.... Will do auditon on Paradigm Sutio package and Monitor Audio RS6 package within this two days @ Perfect HiFi and Acoustique System.

Hmmm, how to actually compare systems without sub eh?
I guess anything with dual 6" woofers should be good "kwa".
I had my Klipschs before getting a sub, it was good and better than my previous bookshelf.
With a Sub it's like a whole different scene.

My vote from the choice given would be the MA's

Difficult to compare but I have already got the sub, that's why I just need the rest of speakers for my upgrade. Suprisingly MA package is the cheapest among all. Thanks for the input. Have you audition it before?

Very hard to audition just the speakers alone.. All you can test (without the sub) is mid and soundstage...

This also depends alot on your room size.. Getting more and bigger woofers wouldnt do good if your room is small..

Thats y i'm loving my Imagine cos my room ain't big smile.gif

For me;
(1)
Try the fronts on stereo, you like the sound of it on music it should be able to play well on movies.
(2)
Try on the Center, choose some busy scene with "talks", If conversation can still be pulled apart clearly then it's a winner, if it's just with all bang and boom, for me it'll just too messy.

Everyone has their own ways in making decision, in the end of the day "it's you who's bringing it home"

when it comes to speakers it's always a matter of taste.... best buy what you like the sound of the most. you might also want to audition Focal/JMLabs speakers if there are any in that range
