I’m building a new listening area/theatre, which will replace my current setup of JBL 305p mk2’s. I plan on buying Denon AVR-X1700H, SVS SB-1000 PRO or 3000 micro sub, but I can’t decide for the bookshelf speakers. Here are my finalists after a bit of research:

  • Elac DBR6.2
  • Triangle Borea BR03
  • KEF Q350
  • Focal Chora 806
  • Q Acoustics 5020 or 3030i

Which would be the best for 50/50 usage for movies and music. I listen to all genres. Room size is around 20-25 m².

    i would recommend the arendal audio 1961 monitors, do not waste money on ported design especially when you got subwoofer.

        cheaper to make, more absorbing material inside so less box sound comes thru the woofer, smaller box, plays louder without a high pass filter, no phase change like a port produces, and there are no unwanted resonances in the box coming out of the port, and dsp work better on sealed boxes.
