Unfortunately in our tiny country I do not have the luxury of endless permutations of amps with different speakersa, nor do i have an endless list of equipment type available.
I have to however decide between the two:
a) KEF iQ5 series powered by NAD T743, an iQ6 as a center speaker and two rear soffit speakers from KEF + PSW2500 as a sub
b) B&W 602 s series with a matching center speaker and two rear B&W soffit speakers and an ASW 600 sub powered by an HK amp (maybe AVR130 or similar)
My room measures 5m X 9m and the front speakers will be facing the 9m length ... I will be usually seated in the middle of the room.
To be used 60% music, 40% home theatre. I am looking for a system which can provide a warm sound with plenty of sharp detail (not too dull)
Would appreciate any suggestions and recommendations ...
IMHO, the NAD/KEF combo is a much better combo than the hk/B+W combo. You will find the sound will be much more open and lively with the NAD/KEFs, which makes a big difference when listening to music. I do not see a big difference when using either combo in HT.
