my vote goes to letter b. Settings mo sa receiver ay small din naman so same lang din bs at fs.also fs cannot reproduce lfe movie effects like rumbling sound bomb explosions etc

Just my opinion po.

Whoever said that does not know what he is talking about. Stay away from that store :)  UNLESS he meant buy the FS first and add the sub later on.....

IMHO,  I would rather have  an entry level  bookshelf with an awesome sub, vs an awesome bookshelf with a entry level subwoofer

For HT, the SUB is VERY VERY critical.

sinabi mo ata kasi na hindi ka sa kanya bibili ng sub kaya ang nirecommend sayo floorstanding para mas mahal compare sa bookshelf hehehe, tama ang sabi nung mga naunang nag reply,mas ok may sub pag ht kahit bookshelf lang kesa floorstanding lang.

Based on your options and application, I would choose B. Mas significant difference ang maibibigay ng may sub compared if you settle for an FS w/o sub.

But if your plan is building piece by piece and eventually setup a 5.1 system, then FS may be a better choice, im not just sure if your chosen receiver can make it perform to its full potential for other applications.

what's your room size?

if you have a large room, floorstander. if you have a small room, bookshelf.

B, then upgrade later to FS, then assign the BS to surround...

1-2 months ang pagitan ng upgrade, why not wait para isang setup na lang? While iniipon mo ang pera, gamitin mo ang oras sa pag audition ng sa ganun mas lalawak ang kaalaman mo at iwas papalit palit. Consider mo din ang ibang brands? .1 man ang turing sa subwoofer pero wag mong balewalain. 5.1 is ok pang start lalo na kung magiging problema mo kung saan ilagay ang 2 speakers since open kamo kasama ang dining. Hth

Btw, avoid text speak po. ;)

if you have the space for Floorstanders, i suggest you get FS. But be patient. It might be better to save up for 3-5 months then try to get a good deal on a set

Fs for dat size,no doubt. Bs is for small room 20sqm below as per wharfedale standards. Due to space constraints not all can use fs,hence its a privilege. Besides,fs really sounds better esp for music than bs as a rule.
Its more pricey though..

I presently use a Dali Zensor 3 mated to a Marantz pm6005.

Need to upgrade to a floorstander to fill my 6mx6m room? Any recommendations? I suppose i need to change my amp as well.
