As with all systems, the room and placement of speakers can either make or break a system. If you have the perfect room with the perfect system, but place your speakers withing a cabinet, then that speaker is always going to sound like a box within a box. If you use rear ported speakers, and you place them to close or far away from the wall, this will effect the speakers too, so you really need to work with the equipment in your room
Having heard many systems, it always surprises me how good you can make a cheap system where as an expensive setup can sometimes be a little more fussy with other components
I usually say that the rule is what you enjoy. Yes using a £3k stereo amp when pairing it with speakers costing only £500 is a little daft, however you will squeeze every ounce of life out of them, but having said that, they won't give you all the information available either just everything they can deliver
Sometimes you can add components together into a room which just work making you ignore reason too, which is also why I say its what you enjoy
I would say, if your looking at a PM6006SE, adding a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 200 speakers would be as far as I would like to go if you are going to really drive these speakers hard whereas if you are going to use them for easy listening, then you could move to the Silver 300. I do however feel that using speakers around the 1.5x value of the original release price should be a good indicator. This would put the Kef Q550 somewhere in the right ball park to create a balances starting point.
But if you refer to my comments above, if you enjoy it, who cares what others think as it's only purpose is to impress you and if you do find a sound that impresses you more which doesn't follow this path, who cares if you enjoy it |
