Help me with the choice

[mozg]

I want to buy a receiver and a 5.1 audio system
The price is up to ... 2000 $
Will be used for : playing PS3, watching movies and listening to music. I like it when there is a lot of bass in movies, in music too. Prefer listening to trance music + Djs, sometimes chillout, sometimes alternative music (Punk, Rock).
My room is 10 meters but I want a really powerful audio system.

Some guys told me to consider Jamo C 405 set + Marantz receiver.

Help me to make a choice. Thanks

Have you been able to demo a good amount of speakers to decide on a few brands you enojoy?

I have been able to Demo Jamo and was not very impressed based on the cost/quality.

Here is a good $1300 KEF setup (retails for over $2,000) Leaving you with $700 for a receiver and a sub

The Dali Concept 8s are nice, I dont think you could get all 5 speaker for $2k tho, but the bass out of just the 2 fronts is awesome. Detail is better then anything i have ever heard. If you are willing to build a system slowly, then I suggest that you get Dalis and a Receiver then add the Center and surrounds later, before gettin the Sub.


Really because most of us are not going to know the prices of speakers in Russia, you may just be better served to get some CDs of the music you like and go to the speaker shops near you and listen to as many speakers as you can and find what you like the best.

From your list I would try to listen to them all. But since you really want to listen to music, I would avoid these.

Sony
Yamaha
JBL
Klipsch
Pioneer
Yamaha
Bose
Harman

I would focus my attention on

B&W
Paradigm
Warfedale
Tannoy
Dali
PSB
Jamo
Revel
Monitor Audio
Canton


Good luck.
