Hi all,I'm looking for a full set (5.1) of speakers for my home cinema system. As I consider the design to be very important and I'm very weak for the BeO look, I have had quite a difficult time finding any good looking and good sounding passive speakers. Maybe that's an impossible combination who knows :-)
So far I have come up with the "Dali Piano" speaker series, but there got to be more speakers out there with similar design and sound.
Please could somebody assist...
Regards,
Peter

Peter,I suggest you take a look and audition the following:
Elac 330i Jet
http://www.elac.de/english/cl330jet.htmlPiega S4 (LDS series)
http://www.piega.ch/lds-e.htmAmphion Athene
http://www.amphion.fi/products/athene/atheneframe5.htmDali Piano series
http://www.dali.dk/products/piano.htmlT+A TAL series
All of them available in Europe, within your budget range and similar to your aesthetic preferences.
For sound, my vote would go to Piega or with Elac.

www.o-d.co.ukAthough I have no Idea how they sound they look cool.
of the D2 series in the August Hi-Fi Choice from the UK. They liked them but said they were fussy about good recordings and that they needed plenty of quality power to drive them to reqlistic levels. That seemed to translate to 200 watts to go pretty loud and a 35 watt A/V amp not cutting it.The D1 series looks considerably more conventional.

These speakers look like some greys from a SiFi movie!Interesting concept and VERY UNIQUE shape. I would love to hear some.
how about the Boehlander - Graebner 5.2'scheck out www.bgcorp.com
It looks like aluminum from the ads, I believe they do 5.1, not sure of the pricing, probably over budget. Good luck and happy hunting!
Please give us more information that limit your choices:- funds available for the 5.1 set?
- where are you buying/auditioning (geographical location)?
- what kind of looks (in addition to B&O) do you prefer?cheers,
Halcyon
Budget, hmmm, I guess I have an upper limit of $3000 for the speaker system.I'm living in Sweden.
I'm really looking for this rugged aluminium look that you can find on the BeO and Dali Piano models.
