Hey everyone,
Long time lurker and first time poster on Head-Fi! I was wondering about which to bite on? There is a deal right now for M200MKIIs + 2 H2s for $309, and M50W's for $279. The prices are comparable, but I was wondering your opinions? Space should not be an issue, as I am not a true audiophile (yet) and can't really see myself being able to distinguish the difference in space placement for the speakers.
To elaborate more, I've read that the M200s need to be spaced 3-6 feet apart with a 6 foot distance for optimum hearing. That's a non-issue for me.
I realize that the M50s have a sub, but I've also read that the M200's are more than adequate, and I can always upgrade later. I do like to listen to all varieties of music, but sub is also a non-issue for me.
I've done some research on them, but I can't say that I am knowledgeable enough to make an educated decision... I have read raving reviews for Swan for the price-point and quality, and have decided to go with them. I was planning on purchasing the M-10s but I think paying more now for some decent speakers will pay off in the end.
Anyways, if you have them or have been able to audition them, I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!
ninja edit: I don't plan to go over $300- I initially only wanted to spend about 150-200. If you have any suggestions that match the aesthetics and sound quality of these models, please do suggest!
