Hi,
Is Aurum for music only? Is there any model (pref floorstanders) that is also good for HT. Does this come with center and rear as well?
Frootloops,
I was able to audition the F5508 on music, it sounds better than my current audio/HT setup (Acoustic Research Status 50).
I was also able to audition the Leisure 2SV on music and it sounds excellent.
If you want to save space and just have one set of speakers for music and ht, go for the Leisure 2SV (I believe it also have a model for surrounds) and the leisure center speakers. I guess for around 60K, you should have an excellent, no-compromise audio and HT setup.
If budget is a concern, go with the F series, for around 25K for a 5 speaker setup, you will not be disappointed, sounds way better than most HT speakers I had a chance of listening to.
Contact Tyrone for an audition, they are very nice and accomodating people!
Drop by at my place (when you go to your brother's house) early next year, I should have aurum cantus for my HT setup by then.
