Hi,
I am currently having a surround system comprising of Mirage Omni FS 550, C 150 and Rear 150 connected to Rx V 667. These are good speakers providing good Bass and enhance the Movie experience.
I was using the Omni 550 Floor Standers (1- 6.5 for Bass, 1-6.5 for mid, 1 Tweeter for High, 3 Way crossover) connected to Cambridge 650 A for listening to music.
Off late the change bug has caught me as I feel the need for musical speakers for a stereo set up and are detailed even at low volumes. I do not intend to connect a Woofer.
I Initially auditioned a few Book shelves assuming that these will be better suited for my need to play at low volumes and then changed my opinion and included Floor Standers also after listening to them. My room is not dedicated and is 20 X18 Living room with doors / windows all around. Type of music Varied both English Pop, Disco, Indian Classical Tabla, Veena, Filmi etc.
Following are my impressions. (I am no audiophile and cannot give technical descriptions)
Also since I was not sure about what I want (The confusion continues) I auditioned varied mix of speakers.
I) The speakers I really liked:
a) Tannoy DC6T
b) MA GX100 ( I heard the GX50 also but did not find them to be in the very good category)
II) Other speakers which are good ( Considering the Price )
1) Aviano 2 - BS
2) Mezzo 2 BS
3) Tannoy Mercury V1 BS
4) KEF Q300
III) Dint Like
1) PSB Image T5
2) B&W 685
3) Heco Floor standers
The auditions were done over a period of two months with different set ups and source.
So my impressions can be all skewed
Given the above I am veering towards finally selecting Tannoy Revolution DC6T SE
I have also been told that the below are comparable to Tannoys
1) Dali IKon 6 Mk2
2) PSB Image T6
My queries are
a) Will the Tannoy DC6TSE provide a substantial upgrade over my existing set up of Mirage Omni 550 Floor standers?
b) Has anyone compared Tannoy DC6T vs. Dali Ikon Mk2 Vs PSB Image T6? Is it worth wile to wait and audition them given that they are not available in Hyderabad- or should I go ahead and finalize on the Tannoys.
c) Finally is it worth the additional spend on Tannoy DC 6T SE compared to DC6T? The SE are supposed to have improved drivers and crossovers
I am willing to change the Amp also if required
Budget: Speakers approx. 80K
Amp Approx 30 K
I know that the above questions are very specific and may not have ready answers. But it will reassuring to know that I am not making a blunder.
Thanks
