Hi. Need the sifu’s help here. Really a newbie in terms of HT. once bought a sony 5.1 many years ago which i stopped using after having problem with the dvd player. Then all the speakers not used. Threw it away after collecting dusts for 5 years.
Now, Want to buy a new system. Would like to ask your opinion which of my planned configuration is best for me for hometheatre mainly. I also use for listening music and ps5
1. Denon AVR 3700H + Kef LS50 meta. Since this is pricey, planning to add on centre speaker later with sub if needed. From reviews, this speaker is good enuf. This is where i’m hoping u guys can help me.
2. Denon 3700H + Dali speakers. Either Oberon 3 + Dali Vokal centre + svs sub 1000 pro or dali oberon 5 + vokal centre
3. Denon 3700h + B&W 606 s3 + B&W centre speaker and svs 1000 pro
Basically, i’m not sure if i should choose KEF, Dali or B&W. Budget for speakers is 7k.
Any suggestion and recommendation is really appreciated. Tq
If primarily for home theatre, then look for speakers which also have a centre speaker in the family. Some suggestions will be the Dalis you have listed, Q Acoustics and SVS Prime or Ultra series.
KEF LS50 Meta and the B&W is more of a choice when your primary use is for music. They would need a better amp than an AVR to make them sing. I think it is important to have a good understanding of your use case in terms of music and HT. Also, how big is your space? The KEFs for example are smaller monitors that are more suited for small spaces. If big living room, should consider some bigger standmount speakers or floor standing ones. Whichever speakers you get, always best to also get a subwoofer as they make a big impact especially for HT.
