For our evaluation, we drove the speaker system (using
floorstanders up front, bookshelves in the back) with Pioneer's Elite SC - 89 A / V receiver and a BDP - 88FD Blu - ray player.
A system based entirely on the bookshelf speakers will run you $ 2,500; with
floorstanders up front, $ 3,150.
The B6.2 is part of the Debut 2.0 range which also includes
floorstanders, Atmos height speakers and a sub.
Behind the speaker grilles, the 906i
floorstanders are a two - and - a-half-way design employing two 13 cm mid / bass drivers and a refined metal dome tweeter for smoother high frequency performance.
These speakers, with their black ash cabinet and matching fabric grille, are a cosmetic match for the brand's XT2, XT and XB
floorstanders, but can be used with any brand.
If you want the full - fat KEF 5.1.2 Atmos experience, partner the R50s with a pair of R500
floorstanders, matching R200c centre channel, R100 bookshelves and the compact R400b subwoofer.
Another is that generating all the bass output from well off the floor, and from sources with lots of space around them, does seem to give a rather cleaner, crisper bass than
floorstanders manage.

Most Promising Newcomers ELAC Adante
floorstander prototype ELAC loudspeaker design guru Andrew Jones brought newly assembled prototypes of his upcoming Adante floorstanding loudspeakers (to Munich and we found their sound promising to say the least.
When compared to other expensive
floorstanders like B&W's 702 Series 2, the Fortes offer a similarly scintillating treble response, but their punchy low end easily bests the B&W s, thanks to that 15 - inch radiator on the rear and its 12 - inch active bass driver.
