xchewyrep Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I'm going to be moving from a dedicated home theatre room to an apartment so I need to sell my Richter Harlequin floor standing speakers and unicorn centre for a mini system or book self speakers. Unfortunately the apartment is still under construction and can't get access for any pre wiring. Any recommendations for a decent speakers. I have a Yamaha RX A1050 receiver.

Tony ray Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Kef LS 50 W. Very popular at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchewyrep Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 I really like those speakers. Heard them at Clef Audio and very impressed. Aren't they more for just music though. How could I use a centre speaker with these as they are wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xchewyrep Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just had a listen to Kef R3 bookshelf speakers. These are a contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for a cheaper solution, look for the Usher 520. The LS 50 is nice. The Monitor Audio brand also carries something similar at a much lower price point, with a bright colored woofer.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focal Dome 5.1 system is one way of getting the quality in an apartment situation, for anyone who wants high-end performance but cherishes their floor space, this system in laymen terms is 'the ducks nuts' Just my 2c of wisdom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
