[QUOTE="Trashy, post: 1022953, member: 22641"] I agree with the other comments that if you have the option to try in your own space before purchasing, then that is a great idea. That said, if the room you are placing the system into is less than ideal, you will face the same acoustic challenges with any system you put in there. I'd say that if you are getting the gear at a good price, then just get it and spend your time optimising the room it is in. Take time to find the best placement for the speakers and the subwoofer and find ways of minimising reflective surfaces (thick carpet on the floor etc) and you will get a lot more out of the system than if you just spend more on better gear. In any case, you would need to do this regardless of the equipment you purchase. One other thing, you mentioned that you just want to play music over bluetooth. Bluetooth by design is lossy and you will never get the most out of your system playing music over bluetooth. At this point you would be better served by upgrading your source than by throwing money at more expensive speakers. If you can find one, the Yamaha Wxad-10 is a great performer for the money. Bear in mind, that even a modest system, if you take the time and effort to set up correctly can sound really good. [/QUOTE]
