Building my first dedicated stereo system. I'm currently trying to decide between buying a pair of AsciLab F6B speakers or Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speakers. I was also considering the AsciLab C6Bs but it appears they won't be in stock in the US for months and I wanted to get my sound system set up sooner rather than later. There are several aspects I would like more information on.
For reference, these will be used in a bedroom with the dimensions of 9 ft. 7 in. (length) by 13 ft. 6 in. (width) by 8 ft. 4 in. (height). The bed itself takes up a large portion of the room, if this would negatively affect dynamics and placement too much there's a slightly larger office space I could put them?
Quality: What does each speaker excel at? What are their shortcomings?
Cost: I know the cost of the speakers themselves, but I also need a streamer/dac/amp and a subwoofer. Would the Wharfedale speakers require similarly more expensive accessories to shine compared to the more budget option of the F6Bs? While I'm willing to spend more on higher-quality audio, I'm worried that I would need to spend significantly more on supplementary equipment to justify purchasing the Wharfedale speakers. What equipment would go best with each speaker?
