The BK subs look brilliant for the money! Not many second hand it seems, but I might fork out for a new one... Will keep looking. I take it your Q Acoustic is not for sale, JFK? Cheers...

Thanks so much for your help. That is very kind of you John!
I am now a bit torn between going for the BK 200xls or the Q 2070s. The colour wouldn't matter as it will be hidden in a corner... well away from... wife... ;)

Cheers,
Claus

No Problem Claus your very welcome , i tried the 2070s in place of my resident BKXLS400 and i have to say it did fair pretty well ..

I guess the only issue with BK is that you dont get to try them out , but i have to say that my one surpassed all my expectations ..

Let me know if you would like to try the 2070s , im sure we could sort something

Thanks
John

Trying it would be very interesting. I will PM you about this! :D

Just to explain my situation in brief:

I have my PMC DB1+ at the moment doing surround front speaker duty. They are actually for sale but I might hold on to them even after the 1028be arrive as my new main speakers in the (hopefully near) future... I was originally hoping to use the 1028be as fronts but that means playing them in front of the chimney breast and that really did not work with the LFT-8. The soundstage just got too wide and seemed to lose depth. So as a consequence I am keeping the two systems separate, using the DB1 as fronts and my old BW DM303 as surrounds.

Hence the need for a sub and a centre....

If anyone has recommendations for some smart looking wall mounting brackets for the DB1+ I would be delighted to hear from you... I have been looking at official ones but they are really expensive! Thomann.de has a few options as well but it's har to know if they will fit the speakers etc. :)
