Having only ever had stand-mount speakers, I'm looking for some general comments on the trade-off's between large tower speakers and stand-mount speakers combined with a sub.
Specifically, I am considering the following setups to replace my current B&W 706 S2 speakers:
- Polk R700 tower with no sub.
- A small sub (Kef KC62, or similar), with either Revel M16's, Kef R3 Meta, or LS50 Meta.
I know listening is key, but I will not be able to listen to all these, and certainly not all of these in the same room.
I'm looking more for information on which direction gives which advantages/disadvantages - small speaker and sub vs. large tower.
