I was looking at following combinations of Amp + speaker setup, any suggestions on which would be better, would be using it with my PC (40% movie, 40% music and 20% games)

1. Whaferdale 9/10 series + Marantz6003/6004

2. PSB Alpha 1 + NAD315

3. Monitor Audio M2/M1/Bronze + Marantz6003/6004

4. Lithos noa1 satellite and sub combination

On the higher side (Is it worth 20k higher over the above ?)

1. Monitor Audio BX2 + Marantz 6003

2. PSB Image B6 + NAD315/325

3.4. B&W 685 + Rotel Amp

then also someone has some sound signature in his mind and his liking towards the signature he's luking in the set-up so what's ur's?
 
OP, its always worth it to spend more, if you do your homework properly. :)

and i do agree that you got to have a signature in mind, what type of sound do you really want. it will be very easy to narrow your search down .

ok Go and buy PSB Image B6 but with NAD C 326BEE Stereo AMP, not NAD315/325
 
@OPL: Seriously, do your ears as well as your wallet a favor and go auditioning various equipment. This is a long and enjoyable journey, and believe me, its totally worth it. Discuss audio products in the forums to get an idea of the obvious features/price points/ownership experiences etc. But when it comes to actual purchases, go ahead buy what your ears suggest you. Just my 2 paisa.

As for the PSB Image, they are simply among the best at that price point. Go very well with the 325 as well. I'd also recommend taking a good look at the Paradigm Monitor Titans V.6 some nice punchy bass they pack along with a refined mid range although at times the higher mids overpower the initial range highs but overall the experience is worthwhile.
