[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Hi, i want a home theater for my room. Its around 25sqm. Basically for 60% movie, 30% game, and 10% music.
I was planning on buying dali speakers set.

This excellent 5.1 speaker package combines high performance Dali Zensor 5 floor standing front speakers with 5 star Zensor 1 surrounds and a Zensor Vokal centre and E12F subwoofer. This good looking speaker package generates a great sound.

If you heard the Dali's and like them go back to your dealer and listen to maybe 1 or 2 more brands. Maybe one a little higher in price and one a little lower to make sure you are locking in the best deal. There are also many online dealers like Crutchfield.com and jbl.com which let you have a 30-60 day audition period. Here are some posts I found about the Dali's

I would not buy a "deal" if I had never heard it and could not return it.

Thanks, this was a big help. By the way do you have any idea with the b&w package? I have no idea if the price is cheap already. It has a complete set, compared to dali i need to buy an amp. I really dont have any idea with regard to speakers. I'm just doing research on the net and learned about other not too commercialized speaker that sounded way better than brands i see in most of the appliance store.

I would lean towards the Dali and yes, even the Yamaha over
that B&W system - however, you need to listen for yourself.
