Bs and Fs got their own advantage.

I chose floorstand cos i wanted more bass extention cos i like bass. Doesnt mean that bs dont have bass. Good bs have plenty of bass, question is enuf for you? If you listen a lot of heart hitting bass song, fs would suit you. If vocal, bs will do fine. Also fs needs to be played a bit louder for it to sound full and good compare to bs can do quite listening.

Regard the speakers you mention, have you go and try them yet? Im not sure about KEF but sonus is laid back type sound. This really comes down to your taste.

Monitor Audios are kinda bright for me.

6K budget, why dont try Dynaudio? Join meeeeee ^^

hi dlyz,

seems u're quite frequent around here

anyway, I think our hifi taste quite similiar, coz i like more bass and hate anything too bright cool.gif . Now that im planning to replace my Tannoy mercury Bs with MS 906i, can you recommend me to audition some good Fs around the same price range before i make purchase?

listen more of R&Bs, hip hops and watch movies, play games so bass is a must but not too much (small room).

thks a bunch!

thks for the feedbacks runemastertan& dlyz,

i really cant accommodate a sub in my small room, plus my budget vvv limited so i hope to live with whatever bass my front speakers can managed to squeeze out....

recently, i audited the B&W 684....whoa its so sweet n musical, deep bass with wide of soundstage but reality check - 1stly, I dont hav budget for it (>RM4k) 2ndly, its power hungry so again I dont hav budget for a powerful amp.... anyway, not being a sour grape here n no offence to B&W owners, my ears felt the bass was a bit boomy, overpowering the treble at times....

ProAc...no chance to audit them but its too far from my reach anyway

anybody has experience with missions?

There is a B&W speaker going for around RM1+++. It's a BS. Look around. Tanny M4 is a FS, and is also around Rm1+++.
The B&W speaker is a bit boomy? Maybe it;s located too near the wall. I haven't heard B&W, so I can;t really comment about it, but I have heard ProAc, a Tablette 8 Reference 8 signature. It;s a BS. It has nice clarity, dynamic range, mild bass, bright. I can;t take bright, make me headache, so I pass on the speakers heheh.

Oh this is what I learn - if you have a small room, then you need not really match the speaker's requirement, except for the impedance. Like if the speakers say it need 20W to 100W, you can still use a SET 5wpc to drive it, unless your definition of small room is different....

Because speakers SPL, like it's <no spam links>/1m/1w, you can get quite a loud speaker at 1m within your room, or 2 m is no problem. I have found out that SET amp does not necessary need a very high SPL speaker to be able to drive it if your room is small.

Just my 2 cent. If I am wrong, someone please correct me
Thanks

I'll pass the M4 FS (these are 2nd hand right?) coz im on M2 BS now, since spending, might as well make a turnover....

B&Ws, as i said, i dunno how 2 appreciate la hehe

how come i sensed that u r very pro to SET amp? anyway, its not bout just how loud i want to play it, but i like to hear bass where it should have, otherwise its a bit uninteresting to me.... but i definitely dont like bright sounds....it makes me uncomfortable
