    Can anyone recommend a decent speaker package to go with this amp?

    Preferably a 7.1 speaker package, but if such a thing isn't available i guess i can buy a 5.1 speaker package and two additional speakers (correct?)



    Would like to stay under 400 euro is such a thing is possible.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I got the Mordaunt Short ALUMNI SYSTEM Black (5.1 speaker package) from RS with my 606 - excellent package. Had one slight problem with a fuse in the sub!!! which RS sorted out pronto.

    I know its a little above your budget at £479.95 but might be worth the extra spend.

    Jamo A102's are apparently one of the better sets. I'll tell you once mine arrive!

    With a maximum power handling of 80W, would the Jamo's not be a bit underpowered, and maybe susceptible to getting blown at higher volumes?

    Would 100W be enough? Or should i go higher?

    With my 606 I have a set of Kef 3005's (not SE version, but they look the same), also known as Kef Eggs ! Purchased nearly 2 years ago from Superfi in the UK for £599 (900euro charged to credit card) when they were over 1,500euro here in most shops. Actually they still seem a bargain ! :eek:

    This discussion would be of interest to a wider audience in the HE forums - it's not really specific to RS. Happy to move back here if requested.

    Ritz.
