Righty-ho...back earlier than anticipated, and after a (not entirely) unexpected twist.
'Er indoors put the kybosh on the BM15As and the Focal Twin 6's. Too bulky and overbearing for our living room. Speakers to be no taller than a ruler, I was told. And placement to be as close as possible to the wall.
Honestly, I can't say I disagree with her as in retrospect I do think I was probably pushing it a bit going for such big boxes in what is already a tight enough space.
So I began looking around again and I saw some PMC Twenty 21's going at a discount of £490 (price was therefore £899 - pretty much what I was going to spend on the Focal 906's). Dealer said they were brand new boxed and the last ones in stock. As a sweetener, he offered Saturday delivery at no extra cost (so another £50 saved). I was gobsmacked by the 20 year warranty and my better half was swooning over the diamond black finish.
Rightly or wrongly, I pulled the trigger and bought them. My wife's just messaged me to say they've arrived today. I won't get to see them for another 5 weeks, which feels like torture, but such is life.
So my question is...now what? The passive solution is now decided upon, for better or for worse. Do I stick with my original amp/CD/streaming/sub proposal (Yamaha A S1100, Marantz CD6006SE, Yamaha WXAD10, BK XXXL400), or do I do something different? The amp in particular is something I'm concerned about now, as I don't know whether it's a good match for the PMC's.
As ever, any advice or input welcome and appreciated. |
