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.
There is no best.
Somewhere there is a pair of speakers that blend with your room and electronics to generate a sonic signature that a) gives the flattest response or b) gives a response curve that pleases you the most. You will never find this pair of speakers.
Somewhere there is a pair of speakers that match your style and decor choice perfectly. You won’t find these either.
There are many speakers that are very good in both categories. Sadly, the best way to narrow them down are to listen to them in your space. But that is unlikely to happen unless you are willing to buy & return a whole bunch of speakers.
The list you provided are all decent speakers.
Crutchfield has some of them on pretty good sale. I don’t know about shipping to Europe.
And to follow the tradition of not answering your question and throwing more choices at you. Paradigm makes nice bookshelves in that price range.
