Surround Speakers

somedeed

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers. Currently running 7.1 but happy to drop down to 5.1 for better speakers.

I'm thinking of the Kef KHT2005.3 or Kef KHT 3005 SE. If those aren't in stock I have a budget of around €800 to €900 max. Whatever you could recommend would be appreciated.

Some,

mmm nice setup!

Okay 5.1 setups:

2005.3 Silver - £499.95 (Short lead time)
2005.3 Black - £589.95 (In-stock)
3005SE - £969.95

As an alternative you could look at the excellent Alumni 5.1 from Mordaunt Short (in-stock in Black)http://www.mordauntshort.com/assets/documents/HomeCinemaChoiceJan08Alumnirvwlicensed.pdf which is really stylish and we can do at just £499.95 http://www.mordauntshort.com/ranges.php?RAID=13&Title=Alumni

Or best of all we can do the Monitor Audio R90HD10 (in stock in most finishes) system - see the review here at £1275 for just £899 on a Boardies special http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Monitor-Audio-R90-HD10/

Of course the MA 90HD10 is the cream of the crop here (it's expensive I know - but hey you do pay for quality!) and if you did want to make it a full 7.1 we can do this at an additional £174.95.

Thanks again for the opportunity to quote and please do drop me a line if I can assist in any way,

ATB,

Hi John thanks for getting back to me. After doing some research pretty certain I'll be going with the KEF3005SE. It will be a couple of weeks or so before I can order but I'll definitely be coming back here to order through you.

One more question, how much would delivery cost to Waterford be?

Thanks

Hi John,

Thanks for getting back to me on the other post with the price of the 47" wifi Philips TV. I'm currently looking at upgrading my front speakers in my surround sound setup. I currently have a Tannoy DCC centre speaker and Focal Sib surrounds and was looking at changing my front Focal surrounds to the Tannoy Highline 500's. Can you get these?, if so how much?

Thanks.

rman2727

John,

Just another one, if you can't get the Tannoy Highlines, what price would you do 2no. silver Monitor Audio 250 for? as I can't wait for the upcoming open box sale!! Would you price match to Peter Tyson in the UK?

These the 500's? http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/tannoy/arena-ts500/tann-arena-light-blk

Rman,

Thanks for the post - I'll do my homework on the Tannoys today and revert!

Tyson!? Pah, no problem (actually there is a small problem - the Radius 250's they are selling are the old series - which we did clear at £79.95 each (u snooze u lose!) and we are now sold out of these)

On a one off basis - I could do the Radius 250HD at £139.95 each (http://www.petertyson.co.uk/ebuttonz/ebz_product_pages/monitor_audio_r250_hd.shtml Tyson are selling them at £250 each) - howevr please note this is a one off and we are losing our shirts at this!

just as an aside - the silver finish whilst great to match silver TV's is by far the weakest finish - the Radius HD series really does look sexiest in Piano Black or Piano white!

Keep me posted,

ATB

Thanks for the quick reply John.

I'll take 2no piano white 250HD @ £139.95 each please. How much for delivery to Meath?

Pleasure as always doing business with you.

Ross.

John,

Just noticed that you did the Radius 250HD in Jan for €139 not £139, can you confirm the price?

Thanks

rman2727

Any update on the prices John?

Hi John,

Throwing around ideas right now, how much for Monitor Audio Radius HD R270 HD10 AV? Would an Onkyo 605 be powerful enough to drive these speakers?

Rman,

apologies for the delay in getting back to you and unfortunately we have had a significant price rise from most of our UK suppliers since Christmas due to the currency turmoil - however as you know we H A T E to lose a Customer so I'm happy to split the difference with you - and do the Radius 250HD at £129 each...Fair??

Keep me posted..

Somedeed,

Thanks for the post & sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

OK - yes a 605 would be well able to drive Radius 270HD (they are really sexy) and I can do these at just £499.95/ €599.99 - however I also have 3 pairs of Radius 270 Classics that I would clear at crazy money!

Pair 1- Beech is on display and probably a bit knocked around! - £199.95/ €239.99

Pair 2 is Rosewood (I think!) and are boxed as new - £249.95 / €299.99

Pair 3 are brand new - sitting in my office but unboxed and unused (they were samples) they are neautiful Piano Lacquer white (the nicest 270 colour) and I will do these at just £269.95 / €319.99

Hope some of those are of interest and please just drop me a line if I can assist in any way,

Yeah Ross - £129.95 may be great for you but means no dog food for my poor puppy for the next month

Anyone feeling sorry for me yet?

Ross drop me a PM with your contact details & I'll get the guys to call you tomorrow and get you sorted - thanks again.

Any sign of the white radius 250hd being in stock yet John, was told when I ordered them last week that they would have to come from the uk so they should be in by now??

Hi John,

Thanks for the update.

No problem Ross - as discussed I'll give you a shout tomorrow when I see them through the door personally (or else I'll have to get the white paint myself and attack some black ones)

Hi John,

I got bitten on a google search for the Monitor Audio RSW12 when I found the link offering it for €439! here on Boards.ie then realised that was for 1st April

I'm still thinking about the speakers but what would the cost be for the RWS12? Thanks.

Ross,

I have one RSW12 in Video silver which I would do at €499.99 - it has only recently gone on display - but as usual everyone wants to see the piano black one so we are going to swap it over for a piano black one - so if you want to snaffle a bargain and help me lose my shirt - you can grab that one at €499.

Thanks again and keep me posted,

ATB,

Hi John,

I'll take it but you can keep your shirt it is coming into winter after all

Edit: Not sure what details you need from me but I've pm'd you my phone number

Hi John,

Thanks for the RSW12 it's made my speakers sound so much better but I need new ones.

How much would it cost for

2 x Monitor Audio RHD270s
1 x RHD225
2 x RHD90s

If I were to swap the 2 x RHD90s for 2 x RHD 180s what difference would that make to the price?

Thanks John.

rman2727

Hi John,

Just to let you know that the 250HD speakers are absolutely fantastic, the clarity and depth is far superior than the focal speakers I replaced, I'm hearing things in films that I never heard before and you were right about the piano white, very sexy. I might have to upgrade the rears and sub next!!! but will have to wait till later in the year, or see what comes up in the open box sale

Anyway thanks again and I'm sure I'll be in contact soon.

Ross.
