    Hi It's.

    That's quite a nice setup you have there and I can understand the reason for the upgrade.

    There's quite a range of options available.

    Could you PM me a budget that you have in mind for the fronts and centre and I'll work on a few options for you ?

    ATB

    hi dave any update on this


    thanks

    Itsme - Dave is on an ill deserved holiday - could you fwd me your PM and I'll get back to you asap - without the benefit of the PM I would have no hesitation in recommending the following:

    Cambridge Audio S70 Floorstanding speakers £199.95
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/floorstanders/cambridge-audio/s70/camb-s70-blk

    Cambridge Audio S50 Centre speaker - £99.95
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/centre-speakers/cambridge-audio/s50/camb-s50-blk

    ( I also have a very few Cambridge SL40 Centres in Piano Black that I can do at £89.95! (reduced from £149.95) - so the total again on the SL401 and the S70's would also be just £289.95)


    If the budget is a little more elastic and you would like to 'system build' I would recommend the Monitor Audio BX5 with the Monitor Audio BX FX -I can do these at £549.90 reduced from £599.90 if you want a 'bit of class!'

    http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/bronze-bx

    Keep me posted and apologies for the delay getting back to you,

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew

    I can do these together at just £289.90

    Hey itsme1284.

    The Monitor Audio bits will run along with you KEF sub with no problems at all!

    Here goes for a list of items and a Final Total Price.
    Monitor Audio BX5
    Monitor Audio BXLCR
    Monitor Audio BXFX
    40M Ultra Micro (http://www.richersounds.com/search/ultra%20micro)
    QED P2000 HDMI 2m
    Cambridge Optical 2.25m x2
    Philips Premium Phono cable x3
    Delivery.

    This should retail for around £1050. I can offer all this for JUST £880!!

    I have included good quality cables within the above quote. If you would like me to quote with cheaper cables let me know, although I think anything less would not do the system justice.

    For setting up the rear's I would use the Monitor Audio BXFX as your two rear speakers and the KEF's for the side ones.

    Hi itsme1284.

    I have all the items in stock today which means If they shipped tomorrow you would have then no later than Thursday of this week. Just in time for Easter.

    All I could do on the price would be a further £10 as you can see our price is already very very tasty indeed.

    John/Kenny/Dave,

    how would the Monitor Audio R270HD Floor Stands compare to the BX 5?

    I got a 2 R90HD and 2 R45HD of ye last year, I'm thinking of adding to it.

    BX5 are better, no question - however if you have the rest of the Radius HD kit - I would probably stick with the Radius 270HD and add a Radius sub, the 360HD or even better the Radius 370hd - then you would get the looks AND the grunt!

    If you are interested in a combined R270 / R360 or R370 price just drop me a line and I'll do some Boardie number shaving for you ;)

    Keep me posted,

    ATVB,

    Got the 360 HD of ye too. Its a good sub, packs a good punch.

    I see the R270's are selling for €550 which is about the same as the BX range. I'll have to wait and see. Any open box sale for the 270's coming up?

    Thanks

    Hi nulabert.

    May I ask where you have seen the Radius 270HD priced at 550Euro?

    This would be a good price for a pair of 270HD as we have them listed on our website for £549.95 / 670 Euro and other online retailers are £650 / 799.99 Euro on these.

    If you would like a boardie special price on these drop me a P M and I'll knock one up for you ;)

    speakers arrived today, great service thanks guys
    just have to set the up now, but i have a technical question if you can help, on the back of y denon 1906 there is front L and R A plus B amps
    to bi wire the fronts do i just run 2 cables of the left amp and 2 off the right, or would i run left A to one speaker point and left B to the other speaker point, and do the sae for the right. or is the front B for something else
