Back to the OP.

I would also suggest using the QS8v2 as your surround speakers with any of the speakers recommended above barring any budget constraints.

Thanks for all your help. I have made a mistake with my room size (conversion from meters to feet was all wrong). The size is 12.5 x 15 x 10, (1875 cuft). Quite a bit smaller than I thought. my budget is between 2.5 - 5k A$. I don't want to be disappointed but on the other hand do not want to overspend. Listening to SACD music is as important to me as movies

Thanks for your time

Hey Paul,

My room is about the same size. 13' X 16' X 8.5'

I ordered (and am awaiting delivery from the Outlet Store) for a pair of M80's, pair of QS8's, VP-150, and an EP-350 for a total of $2595 US all from the Outlet Store. Upgrading to an EP-500 would bring the total to $2998 well within your budget.

You didn't mention what you have for a receiver. I will be driving my system with a Denon 2309CI.

Don't forget, I believe Paul is referring to Aus $$ if I'm not mistaken (re budjet).

You have a big budget.

A couple of possible 5.1 setups

M80v2
VP150v2
QS8v2
Dual EP350v3

M80v2
VP150v2
QS8v2
EP500v2

Alan,

Given the change of room dimensions I have stated, would I be over spending by buying what you have suggested?

Do I really need the M80's or will the bookshelf top of the ranges suffice?

Thanks

Hi,

My amp is the Arcam AVR200. Good enough?

Paul

If you have room for a floorstanding speakers like the m50's, m60's, or m80's they will sound great, however, they do need some spacing behind them and the wall, 4-6" to help with the bass ports.

I would not say it is a small room, maybe medium sized. You could also go with m22's which sound great and don't take up as much room. When matched with a sub, they sound great.

Thanks for that input.

Do you think I will be happy with the M22's. As I said, I want great quality but do not want too overspend just for the sake of it. How far off the wall do the M22's need to be?
