Most people will say Bostons s50s which are around the £100 mark i think

see if you can get the bosotns cheaper/secondhand and buy an amp aswell as they will sound the dogs dangles

kevin_172 · 9th July 2007, 13:12

Are there door pods available to buy over the counter for a Saxo VTR/VTS that suit components??

Scott^p · 9th July 2007, 14:03

matt im sure audioscape or something like that do over the counter pods. Not cheap i dont think and im sure there was another company that did them but the name escapes me

RS_Matt · 9th July 2007, 14:34

cheers I'll look into them, gotta go down the comp route now I've upgraded the sub amp. Sounds like daleks on the rear shelf.

yep audioscape have them, just wait till they go on ebay though they start at like 80 pound and tbh nobody bids on them so you will get a bargain

as for components what amp have you got??

What amp have you got mate?

Undboutably for under £100 either the Boston Acoustics S50 or the Rainbow SLX230 are the best value for money. Which one? Well that depends on your taste of sound. I've tested both and find that the Boston's are sharper, some say a little more detailed. But the Rainbow's sound warmer and overall smoother, the Rainbow's are my choice out of the 2, but the Boston speakers do have a large fanbase.

With a budget of upto £150, I would either choose the DLS R5A or the Focal 130A, again I have owned both these sets, and they both combine the postives of both the above speakers, warm and detailed, but not too sharp.

Audioscape stopped doing over the counter pods for the Saxo, don't know why.
