SAM - Total System RRP - $5895
"I would’ve gone for the Monitor Audio S1s and matching surround gear as I think they have the edge, but they blew my budget so the Mission M5s are the next best thing. Rather than go for floorstanders on a budget, I'd rather not compromise on driver quality so I've opted again for bookshelves to maintain sound quality and once again the Legend Kurlette. If you were after a more music oriented system, you could consider opting for no sub and going for the Monitor Audio Silver S6s (RRP $1999) – these driven with the AVR 3805 would sound brilliant as the Denon is SUCH a good amplifier."- Sam
TROY - Total System RRP - $5908
"The 2803 is an awesome receiver. Its What Hifi’s receiver of the year and why not; great sound, plenty of grip and excellent processing. In an ideal world, you would have 5 of the same speaker equidistant around you, but as this will go in a living room and not an anechoic chamber, then lets not split hairs. I’ve used 3 Silver SLCR’s across the front, and allied a pair of bipole’s from the bronze series for rears. I’d have loved to use the Silver SFX, but they would blow the budget by a few hundred dollars, and I’m less concerned using the same series for the rear. Bass is courtesy of a Legend Kurlette. No explanation necessary, it’s the best thousand dollar sub you will ever find." - Troy
