LCR with Alpha-8 Minion x 3 W/ Sub or Alpha-12 Zephyr x 3 No Sub

  1. Hi Folks,


    Looking for new LCR for HT and music, about 50/50.


    I'm not sure which ones to go for. I'd prefer no sub, however like the smaller size of the Minion's as the sub can be put off to the side. Massive bass is not required, as my parents live upstairs, but a little would be nice.


    Budget = $1200 give or take.


    Space = Large open area, however listening position is about 3.5m from speakers/tv.


    Power = Pioneer VSX-2011 AVR, an oldie but a goodie! [SIZE=78%]http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/VSX-D2011-S/page.html[/SIZE]


    Current Speakers = KEF 2005.1, before them I had KEF C55's, [SIZE=78%]https://www.google.com/search?q=kef+c55&aq=f&oq=kef+c55&aqs=chrome.0.57j0l3j62.1836j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/SIZE]

    Music = Mostly rock, with some dance/trance occasionally, currently this is my favourite,

    Questions,

    If I go the Minions, which sub to go for? And is there a 240V version of the Bash Amps?



    I'm in Australia, I come to the US often so getting the speakers is no issue with postage etc


    When are the pre-made XO's coming? Currently in the middle of a house renovation, the less to think about the better!


    In the looks department, I much prefer the rear mounted drivers, is this possible with either of these models?


    They will probably be painted a gloss white to blend in with the decor, have to have some WAF or no dice.


    Thoughts?
