I'm looking to get my first "real" audio equipment. I have a few setups I'm considering

First I Wass all in buying Argon Audio Forte 5 Mk2.
It's my local Hifi-stores own brand (which are a big franchise her in swesen,)

After that I discoveres AUDIO pro A28 to at much cheaper price, with more wireless streaming posinilitis. Although the speaker it self is much smaller and smaller elements

But after a while reading too much on alla audiophile formus i started to get interested in Bookshelf Speaker.

My candidate's for now are Elac unifi b6.2
Or Polk Reverse r200.

Aa you can gess after mention those speaker i lile modern musik, very much hip-hop, some rock, electic music like psytrance and on..

My thoughts now is that I at wiimö buy a software as well, so det leves to question 1. Is Elac b6.2 and Polk r200 a goodi much with a sub? I mean bass is polks an Elacs strongest sides.

W with that sad. Would it bi bettee buying other mor natural bookshelfspeaker then let sub handle low frequenzi

Also, what i am. Purchasing, I wolm buy a Wiim and hoop upp tu integratws app

Ohh, forgot to say my budget is 100$ to 1500$

Welcome to ASR.

Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2:

Tonality (Preference) Score is 5.1 and would be 7.2 with a perfect subwoofer.
Tonality (Preference) Score is 5.4 with an EQ and would be 7.6 with a perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.


Polk R200:

Tonality (Preference) Score is 6.3 and would be 8.3 with a perfect subwoofer.

Personally, I would be strongly considering Polk R200.
But there are other great options for your budget.
Take a look at my 'passive speaker' list for more ideas depending on your budget.
This list includes United States dollars, so I don't know how that translates to your currency.

Another point to consider:
I don't buy speakers that we don't have spinorama for, since there's no way to tell how good that speaker is. In other words, you're much safer buying a speaker with spinorama data. So your first 2 options (Argon Audio Forte 5 Mk2 and AUDIO pro A28) are automatically excluded in my eyes.
