speakers for a 2.1 system

Well, the last thing you mentioned before that were the Axiom M3s and they are rear ported. I haven't heard the LMs, so can't comment on them.

oh ok well thanks anyway. I have emailed B&W for a reply.I may end up placing speakers on stands but they would be firing along the shorter axis of the intended room which is about 12.5x 10.5 ft

B&W's made in my own home town

lucky!

KEF iQ series do a good job, great imaging too.

Not really as it doesnt mean I can get them cheaper. One cant buy direct from factories in the UK
I like Kefs and have some Q55 and 85c in my AV room. If I cant buy my first option Norh I shall go for the iQs
Thanks

SVS is strictly speaking not average for music...I thought it was rather good - specially with the sub.....

With a decent amp, it is very acceptable - but not to the standards of most audiophiles. It's not a fair comparison....

Have a read of the review here at audioholics....I doubt it would disappoint unless your standards were very high...

Good luck...so little time, so much to choose from....

Well I ended up buying a pair of Majestic Diamonds single driver speakers which are easy to place.Excellent midrange a top end which isnt harsh . Bass is lacking somewhat but I hope to address that when I buy the Magellan VI passive sub and TBI 200 SUB amp- at $1250 it'll have to wait till next year.

My Sonic Impact super T has not arrived yet. I ordered it via Ebay a week ago and was told shipping could take between 4 and 17 days which seems an odd timespan
