Suggestions for Speakers for HT

[coolcatric]

Hey !

Thanks to you God sent fellas here, I’m going for the Denon 3500.

Now that that’s done, need to buy decent speakers and this is where I again need your help.

1. Room size - Medium room (I don’t have the exact size as I will be moving next year to different place)

2. Budget - 1000 Euro (probably I’ll go with front speakers 1st and then get the surround )

3. I can buy from amazon.de / eBay.de

4. Main usage - Movies and PS.

5. From factor - I don’t have anything against the big bulky tower speakers. But if I can get the same quality in smaller form factor, I’ll definitely prefer the small ones.

Thanks in advance ! Peace.

Be it for movies & music, a sub can handle lions share of low freq <=80Hz..Then the rest of the speakers would need to handle rest of the range >=80hz.. So even small BS should be able to reproduce upto 80Hz.. So choose accordingly..

Also, two subs are said to be better in a room.. If you can accommodate dual identical subs, then even better..

Choose speakers that have wall mount capability, easy to hang on wall without hindering the floor space..

Harman Kardon satellite speakers (HKS 4) seem to be of good price.. A pair of satellites for 75 Euro with wall mouting brackets included - https://www.amazon.de/Harman-Kardon...1543915256&sr=8-7&keywords=harman+kardon&th=1

Magnat speakers are also of similar offering..

Look at Canton Movie 365, Heco Ambient 5.1A, Dali Fazon Sat, Fazon Mikro, Monitor Audio Radius 45, 90 & actually the radius 270 slender FS speakers as well. Another brand to look for in slender/slim profile speakers are System Audio. Being a scandinavian brand, you should get plenty of options in them at reasonable prices. Am sure you will find something to your liking from the above options

Hi Folks,

Now that i have decided on the Denon X3500, need help buying the BS + Sub/Center.

I can to a 2.1 or 3.1 to start with & later do a 5.1.

Budget for 2.1 / 3.1 setup is 300 to 500 Euro. I see some suggestion in the post, will be going through them as well.

I'm going ahead with Wharfedale Diamond 11.2 & 11.CS to begin with. Still looking out for a sub.
