Both have been reviewed highly a few years ago. Anyone with the speakers with advice? They'll both be a massive upgrade from the Boston speakers I've still got my 10 year old s and I still love 'em.
Can imagine the s are pretty substantial. It may depend on room size the will need a bit more space to breathe. There's a pair of celestion A3 on gumtree. Check email out. But you'll need a better amp. Last edited: 30 Jul I'd echo what Nick said about room size and what hornetstinger said about the difference between the existing centre speaker and the much larger S2's.
The current deal on the S2 suggests there might be some newer models waiting in the wings. This makes the S2 speakers a particularly appealing proposition.
Buying really good speakers is rarely a bad move, just so long as the rest of the system can support them. It can be a bit of a double-edged sword though. Along with the better performance, those new speakers might just put the magnifying glass on the performance of the amp. If that happens, are you ready to spend on an amp in the next price category up from your current Sony?
Thanks for the replies. Yeah I think this will be the first of several upgrades to get the home cinema up to date. And add a latest 4K tv too! The guy in one of the speaker shops said the and are being replaced by the? S3 as they came out in I heard the s2 and they sounded pretty epic. Going to test out both on a Wednesday where they are setting up a demo room for me with a amp so I can get some idea of the quality of sound.
I intend on bi-amping the s and using the BA for surround sound. Then the new amp and some surround speakers. That is the plan. Bi-amping from what, the AV receiver? All bi-amping will do in this instance is pull power from that single transformer via some extra cable. You're not gaining anything; just spending more on wire and potentially making the Sony amp's job even harder.
Proper bi-amping is worthwhile, but it involves taking the pre-out signal in to an active crossover which then splits the signal in to the various frequency bands. Those separated signals then go off to separate power amps. Once you have the power signals then they go to the speakers but you have to remove the speaker crossovers. Doing bi-amping in a way that's actually going to produce a benefit is complex and requires speakers with removable crossovers so that the drive units themselves are directly connected to the power amps.
Personally I'd avoid the con of buying lots of extra speaker cable for either bi-amping or bi-wiring and just stick to driving the speakers directly with the bridging links in place. Yeah but surely each channel is limited to a certain number of watts That's why stereo system can be a good thing, with AV doing that is expensive Last edited: 31 Jul Thank you for that explanation that makes perfect sense.
So I guess to power bigger speakers one needs another amp Depends on budget but not may have true output figures that's why I've gone pre-power Expensive but worth it in long run if you're looking at higher end in the future.
Or 4 ohm speakers because AVr may struggle with them Also buy amps once and that is it. I won't be needinf another set of power amps for another 20 years. The amps I use are w per channel, all channels driven, with 0. Having a dedicated power amp for your fronts is no bad thing, but it can turn into a giant black hole for money!
Does your current amp have a full set of pre outs? Yeah good idea to get a three channel power amplifier, use that so frees up power for rears Something like ATI hehehehehe.

B&W 683 Main / Stereo Speakers
Lavishing this sort of sum buys you a physically largish box that is nicely if not luxuriously finished. I am disappointed to see our white review samples have three different shades of white across the speaker; the box, front baffle and driver trim rings all come in fractionally different hues. The upside is that the cabinetry is really solid. The finish may be mediocre, but the build is excellent. The drive unit complement is a mixture of old and new. The whole assembly is physically separated in its own gel-filled cavity, to prevent the lower frequencies muddying its sound. New Anti-Resonance Plugs are fitted and are claimed to reduce higher-frequency break-up. At Hz, the midrange drive hands over to a pair of mm aluminium coned bass drivers made using a new method similar to bracing the tweeter with twin layers of aluminium.
