Upgrade for pioneer fs-52? (1 Viewer)

[MikWRX]

Hi all, I currently run a pioneer fs-52 floor standing with centre speaker setup for my home cinema. I am looking to upgrade but the problem is space- the speakers can't be any wider than 21cm. The Fs-52 are 20cm and it is tight.


Should I get bookshelf speakers and stands instead?


What would be a nice upgrade that doesn't cost over $500USD? I'm in Australia so speakers usually cost 2 to 3x as much.

These speakers are 100% movies and TV. No music as I have other speakers for that. Thanks!

Anyone?

The speakers you have are excellent for the price.

I don't know what they cost down there, or if you can even get them, but the ELAC Debut 2.0 and UniFi 2.0 lines both have multiple options that are under 20 CM wide. They are also excellent speakers and were designed by the same guy (Andrew Jones) who designed your Pioneers.

Would the paradigm atom bookshelf speakers be an upgrade over the fs-52?

Update- I picked up a full set of Focal speakers (towers, centre and Surrounds) for $300 in mint condition. Winning

Sounds like a good move.
