Hi
I have KEF CI5160 speakers as my front and have been using them in a 5.2 setup using T777V3 AVR with C275BEE driving the CI5160, these are rated to 250W @4Ohm. The system is ok but i feel like the mid-tones and bass is little lacking from these speakers. Also when I use Stereo listening mode the sound isnt as great as expected and distorting at higher volumes.
I have now a very good deal to get the C298 almost at 65% of the price. Will this be a better fit compared to the C275BEE ?
I am using the Pre-out from the AVR to power the current power amp and planning to do the same with the C298. I am using the DIRAC curves adjustments with the avr for the 5.2 setup. Room is approx 20ft by 30ft not super big with 8ft ceiling. My main goal is to use this for Movies and Music through the AVR though.
