Just had a call and my new speakers have arrived for collection

[easyrider]

After much deliberation and chats with you guys I came across these for a fantastic price. They seem to get great reviews and were half the price of the Q acoustics 1010i set I was going to get.

Seems a lot of speaker for the money. Having seen them in the flesh to I liked the look of them suprisingly.


Tannoy F4 Custom Pair

Tannoy F1 Custom Pair

Tannoy FC Custom Pair

All in paid £256

Seems a lot of speaker for the money

Any thoughts?

Anyway I am in need of a SUB and am looking at a BK XLS200 MK2 Subwoofer 275W RMS 10"

Thoughts?

easy

 

[easyrider]

so you did go for the tannoys in the end?! sounds like you got a bargain too ! Glad you didn't go for the q accoustics, i auditioned those and thought they were awefull!

The Price got me

 

[easyrider]

Bargain!

What amp you got/getting?

Looking at the Yamaha DSP AX 863SE

 

[easyrider]

Wow, that's an awesome price for 5 speakers, I always visioned spending a fortune. Were these brand new?

Brand new of course boxed and sealed.

 

[easyrider]

That is a bargain mate. Fantastic price.

Oh, and i can safely say the Yamaha is pretty tasty. I'm a 861SE owner (EXACTLY the same bar HD bitstreaming (which the PS3 cant do anyway, my only bluray source!)) and its a cracker, lots of power and sounds fantastic in movies.

If your spending that much on an AMP though, consider its more musical and better counterpart the RX-V1800, can get some real bargains on this at the moment.

Finding it hard to find either in stock.

The 863 comes in stock in Jan if I can get one for £499 then I'll be happy.

 

[easyrider]

Whatever Yamaha you go for (be it the 863 or the 1800) it will be a good match for the Tannoys. & go for the XLS 300 (a no brainer for the price)

Just hoping they will be good for my cinema room.

 

[easyrider]

I think I can't go wrong for the price.

Especially with a nice BK sub.

go for the XLS 300 (a no brainer for the price)

Is the Monolith-DF not worth the xtra £40?

The Monolith standard is just to big!

Looks a great sub the XLS 300 though ....

 

[easyrider]

Get this My folks went into town today so my dad offered to collect the speakers for me.

I said they will want £256

Just had a call on my mobile

The guys from the shop just packed the car with the speakers and my dad got them for

£249.99

 

[easyrider]

Quick question, where did you get your speakers from Easy? Tempted to take a listen to those floorstanders if the price is right, you can never have too many nice speakers to audition if the price is right! As with mofei earlier, email in trust if its a competitor in some way.

Add me to msn

 

[easyrider]

Monolith-DF, you know you want to

Now, just find as good a bargain on a V1800 and you can join the club

The V1800 looks nice but its in silver and 599

 

[easyrider]

That's where your bargain finding skills come in

Worth a shot Guess you want something black?

Call me anal but hell yeah!

 

[easyrider]

The DF soes look good.

The XLS300 MK2 looks good too.

More pics

They should sound excellent and that's a cracking deal.

Quick question - What's custom about the Tannoy's?

I'm been looking at a BK XLS200 for a couple of years now, don't think the neighbours would appreciate it tho as I live in a block of apartments...

Not sure whats custom about them TBH

As for the BK XLS200 they do get beefy reviews!

 

[easyrider]

when its all set up, let us know how the Tannoy's sound. I'm currently using a Yammy Sound projector as its missus friendly, but when we do the living room up next year I will get a proper amp and surround sound. Assumed I was looking at least at £500-£600 for half-way decent speakers.

I thought exactly the same

Will do,

You have to remember that the F4's did retail at 399 a pair.

I couldn't belive I got the whole set for so little
