[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1066385, member: 997"] Think the KEF setup will be better than the B&W setup for a HT setup. The B&W setup seems a bit of a oddball selection of speakers and the ASW610 is a weak movie sub, though the B&W centre might give a bit more clarity. The KEF Q650C looks like it can output can handle a bit more power and has a wider frequency response, so for HT I'd already lean that way. Gulf in class to LS50 metas would probably be substantial. I have KEF R series speakers for my HT (though currently boxed away) and were just a bit under the KEF LS50s sound quality wise in my opinion, though they were better suited for HT and have substantially more bass. I experimented with a 3x LCR LS50 setup before that and would only recommend it for a small room and with good quality amplification.Though you could get by just fine with an Exclame, the centre LS50 speaker would also need good amplification, otherwise it could be a weak spot. Have you checked out what a Bentley package would cost you along with a Denon X6700? I think you will likely get more bang for you buck going that route. [/QUOTE]
