$6000 AV System - The Debate Continues...

So we had a shot at creating a good budget home theatre system, but its time to move up to the most popular price point - The point where you can craft a system that REALLY sizzles.

SAM - Total System RRP - $5895

Denon AVR 3805 Surround Receiver

Mission M51 Bookshelf Speakers

Mission M5c Centre Speaker

Mission M5ds Surround Speakers

Legend Acoustics Kurlette Subwoofer

"I would’ve gone for the Monitor Audio S1s and matching surround gear as I think they have the edge, but they blew my budget so the Mission M5s are the next best thing. Rather than go for floorstanders on a budget, I'd rather not compromise on driver quality so I've opted again for bookshelves to maintain sound quality and once again the Legend Kurlette. If you were after a more music oriented system, you could consider opting for no sub and going for the Monitor Audio Silver S6s (RRP $1999) – these driven with the AVR 3805 would sound brilliant as the Denon is SUCH a good amplifier."- Sam

TROY - Total System RRP - $5908

Denon AVR 2803 AV surround Receiver

Monitor Audio Silver LCR Bookshelf Speakers

Monitor Audio Bronze Fx Surround Speakers

Legend Acoustics Kurlette Subwoofer

"The 2803 is an awesome receiver. Its What Hifi’s receiver of the year and why not; great sound, plenty of grip and excellent processing. In an ideal world, you would have 5 of the same speaker equidistant around you, but as this will go in a living room and not an anechoic chamber, then lets not split hairs. I’ve used 3 Silver SLCR’s across the front, and allied a pair of bipole’s from the bronze series for rears. I’d have loved to use the Silver SFX, but they would blow the budget by a few hundred dollars, and I’m less concerned using the same series for the rear. Bass is courtesy of a Legend Kurlette. No explanation necessary, it’s the best thousand dollar sub you will ever find." - Troy

Two fine systems but neither might be right for you - talk to our staff to design your ultimate setup. (Systems do not include cabling)

Just a reminder to stop your cat from sleeping on your amplifier, even though it's lovely and warm...

In order to evaluate the effects of sonic booms NASA have built a room that is something of a wet dream for an audio enthusiast...
Joy of source - rab
Occasionally I am reminded of the old Ivor Tiefenbraun of Linn fame philosophy that he used to create the charisma of the original Linn Sondek LP12 turntable in the UK in the late seventies...
