Im thinking about replacing my suround sound speakers but realy not sure what to be looking at.. ive been hearing KEF eggs from work mates but would like some other options.

Currently have a mix of all differnt types of speakers but they are very loud and clear with realy deep bass (eg ground shaking due to 12" sub and floor standers).

but i find with the xbox 360 that there are some things that are getting missed by the speakers because i dont think they are as clear as some of the newer stuff.

I have this amp: HERE


What packages would you recomend? i would like a full 5.1 set-up for arround £500 (dosnt have to be floor standers becuase i can keep my currnt ones for music)
If possible i would like the sub to be powerful because i like bass with my films :rolleyes:

Cheers
 
my floor standers are Eltax Symphony 8.2's (a few years old but i still think they sound good IMHO)

Im not sure but i think your right about the settings.. i think they are on large.

As for the sub i cant rember what make it is but its from richer sounds... think its this one.. HERE

Again old but sounds good to me...

I may be wrong and your speakers could be big but rubbish,

You might be right as they are old as stated in first post.. i think i need some new stuff to brighten things up a bit. Only thing is i cant grumble about the sound, it just dosnt seem to be as bright with the xbox so some tones are very quiet.

I think i would go for a center because its a eltax thing but im not sure what.. theres a realy nice looking KEF one at richer sounds for £50 seems realy cheap...

Xbox is conected through fiber optic..
 
Matblack: what is center is that? i cant see the pic becuase the pants internet at work is blocking it?

Im going to dig the manual out on my days off and have a play with settings..

So what you both are saying is that the fronts are to big for surround and they are not getting enough power from the amp due to them being set at large? (dose this aply when the amp is in stereo?)

Its a KEF 200C

However the one thing we have missed is that its only the Xbox sound which is bothing you. Have you considered the fact that sound out if a console is almost aways compressed and will never sound as good as a CD or DVD?

I think this is the main problem but there isnt much i can do about that... so i thought that i might try and help it out a bit with better brighter speakers..

Do you think its worth going power amps on these types of speakers?

The amp is a pioneer VSX-D912K thats 110w x 6
 
Ahh well thanks for saving me some money.. lol cheers for the help....

Might get a new center tho.. just fancy one i think... what would you recomend for < £100 ?

love the look of the THIS

But its the only one on RS that has only one speaker! i know its in mono but i thought two was better.
