Hi all,
I've been planning to get my home cinema setup started for quite some time, and now got the cash ready. I've been recommended the following setup by my local specialist (Hifi Corner) in Glasgow (UK):
The best I've had before is a pair of Gale Gold Monitor MK2s, so I know that I'm making a big jump, but wondering if I should perhaps make a smaller or even a bigger jump. As a buyer, I prefer to invest in items that won't need upgraded - so this system will eventually be complemented with a 1080p display and probably a Blu-Ray player, and I don't want to have to replace any equipment (I understand the Arcam receiver will have a firmware released to support such toys).
So, to try and target the discussion, if you were to upgrade one item from the above list, what would it be? Or, if one item is too good for the rest, which is it?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
Edit: I just saw the main forum list (not just the specialty section), so I'm going to review the home theatre noobs forum. If I'm set on B&W speakers, can this thread stay here?
Edit 2: Adding the specialist's name
