What 5.1 speaker package to go for?

[nightrider1470]

Hi! .. I currently own some Boston SoundWare XS 5.1 speakers. There great in my small 11ft x 12ft bedroom with my Yamaha V673 AV receiver and projector.

I move to my new house in a few months and I would like to upgrade them to something that would work well with my receiver. I am after some small speakers I can put on the wall.

Reading reviews and looking at styling Kef egg type speakers look nice! But I cant help but feel like Bose I am paying for the name and for lessor money I can get a similar set of speakers that could possibly sound as good! If not better! ??????

My budget is around £500-700 but am happy to buy used.

Any recommendations?

As always thanks!

Thanks for the nice read Lucid!, can I ask what speakers and receiver you have at home?

Yer I defo wasnt impressed with the old school Kef eggs hence why I am not to keen to buy, all thought after reading your post I think I might take a second look

Regards the Minx speakers I remember hearing them on demo in Richer sounds and they sounded amazing!! am guessing there place is only really to be used in the surround sound department?......... Dont you like them?
