Hi:

Is your budget restricted to BR5/BR6 ? They are indeed good, got good treble, excellent midrange, but bass department fails here, doesn't go deep at all. If you want a speaker to be with you for a very long time, why not extend your budget and look at MA RS6 - excellent in all departments. IMO.

The AP are the people to contact here in Chennai.

Where would you get the MA Silver range at a similar price level as the Bronze?

Yes, the Silver range is great but comes at a price. Even the BR5 is not bad for the price. It has a nice sound that you can hear for a very long time without any listening fatigue.

Thanks,
Sharad

RS1, but then I guess BR floorstanders would humble the Silver bookshelf on bass department.

Your guess is wrong, RS1 will blow away BR5 in bass, have you heard RS1 and BR5 side by side ? RS1 is knowm for their superior bass in BS category, but with a tinge of brigthness IMO.

To answer your question- Boomarang are dealers for MAs in Mumbai. They have shops in Juhu and Fort. No 02226194452


BR5 mrp shd be around 50k

But RS6 are far superior esp for 2 channel/music

Rated 5star in various hifi websites

For movies howevr (5.1 set up), BR5 should be fine as floorstanders with BRLCR as center channel BRW10 as sub and BR2 or bronze dipole surrounds (forget the model no). Total package mrp shd be around 1.4L mrp (plus sum discounts not sure how much )
All the best
