Well
currently we have a kenwood mini system in the bedroom - BUT it has quite
large speakers.
So
really I'm looking for replacements for those, however, the 'agreed' budget
is
pretty low :-)
I'm
not too bothered about sound quality in the bedroom, whereas I'm VERY
interested in quality in the lounge
where we have the home cinema !!!!! (though this is still achieved
on a
pretty small budget - Monitor Audio Monitor 7s - JBL MR Centre - Canon wide
dispersal rears - Yamaha A596 DD DTS amp - Cheap Yamaha sub bought second
hand)
I
know its a bit of a hybrid but its OK for now (and SWMBO can't tell the
difference :-( )
One
day I'll have enough spare money to do something better - after the
bathrooms,
the kitchen, double glazing .............
oh
and we've just had central heating installed theres £5500
gone.............
Trouble is I know what I like, but I have other priorities
:-)
Nick.
Depends on whether you want 'cheapest possible' or 'reasonable
quality/value for money'
The Sonance speakers, IMO, are reasonably prices and sound quite
good. They disperse the sound quite well so the sound doesn't
'obviously' come from the ceiling.
They are way more expensive than the henry's ones you mention Nick,
but not so bad as to break the bank.
Depends on your requirements really.
My
SWMBO doesn't care about sound quality (hence she has a clock radio by the
bed side and is resisting me installing ceiling speakers) but if yours
does,
then buying cheap 'n nasty (I'm not saying the henry's ones are nasty coz I
haven't heard them, though they certainly are cheap!) will not earn brownie
points, whereas installing reasonable/good quality
will.
NB: This is _not_ the precursor to another 'discussion' on what
constitutes value for money/affordability!! :]
Quality is in the ears that hear I guess -
DYOR!
Tony
Just found these at henrys
Seem reasonable :-)
Nick.
Eminence (not sure if
it's spelt right) did a "pure" range of car speakers
that were/are
white.
I've been looking but not managed to find / source any
yet.

Local Halfords and get a can of white
spray paint while you're there...
Car audio speakers will do
fine...
