sonos

AVI Neutron Vs in my experience, though do listen as they may not be for everybody, and are best close to a wall.

You may also find that Dali Lektor 1s, at half your budget, are plenty good enough to make you go 'wow'.

I'm not sure if the amp is good enough for the Neutrons. I remember AVI used to insist 100 watts plus in the user manual of the Neutron IV.

I'm running them with a 70 watter. Depends on current and sensitivity, and as Ashley pointed out here recently, the Nutrons are middling in that regard. I would certainly try them and see what you think.

The Lektors, on the other hand, are quite insensitive if I remember so maybe not such a good idea.

gee1:

could anyone tell me what the best bookshelf speakers would be for my sonos with a £500 budget ,i know the amp is only 55 watts or would i be wasting that much on speakers.

I tried asking this question on the Sonos forum and all I got was derision because I didn't know that power-ratings and sensitivity are "irrelevant" according to one of their moderators because all the manufacturers measure their speakers differently! I haven't bothered asking again...

However, some friends of mine recently bought the BU150 bundle with a free set of Monitor Audio BR1s from Audio T (they're not doing that promotion anymore) and they sound very good, made me realise how old my KEFs are (they are about 9 years old, so it's not a surprise really...). The only caveat I'd issue is that I didn't hear the BR1s running at any real level of volume but I liked what I did hear.

This was in a bedroom incidentally so you might want something bigger for a living room for instance.
