I’m thinking about getting a decent audio setup in the living room. My use case is probably 60% radio/music, 30% TV, and 10% gaming. I already got a Denon X1700h a while ago, and it has powered a pair hand-me-down Denon SC-X1000 bookshelf speakers. They are fine, but I feel like they sound… flat. So I’m in the market for some decent passive speakers. I’m looking for bookshelf speakers without subwoofer because it’s a smallish room in an apartment building. The KEF Q350 has a good reputation around this subforum from what I’ve read and they are affordable at 188 Euros a piece (in Germany). Can I go wrong with a 2.0 setup of Q350s or should I be looking at some other options? Also, would it make sense to go for a 3.0 setup? Dialogue in movies is always an issue for us, because it’s always too soft, and when you turn the volume up, the next piece of music is way too loud. Some people claim that adding a center speaker would help. I’ve seen some advice online that instead of going for an overpriced Q250c/Q650c to just go for a third Q350 lying on the side. Good idea, bad idea?

Thanks for the advice! I wasn’t aware of Canton speakers. The price history for their speakers looks like a rollercoaster so I could wait for a deal. I feared it wasn’t as easy as getting a center speaker. I guess I’ll try a stereo setup, do some adjustments as you say, and work from there.
