Do you ever get the feeling there are TOO many choices?
I've had my eye on a HT setup for a few years now.. I swore when I bought a house that I'd buy myself a decent system. Well, I have a house now and am not much closer to plunking down my allowance to buy anything.
My main problem is I don't think any particular speaker sounds much better than any other, to be quite honest. I have quite a critical eye when it comes to photography (my main hobby), but I swear my ears just aren't that picky. I've listened to my dad's klipsch cornwall speakers, some 600 b&w's at a local store, definitive, paradigm, and perhaps some others in stores like best buy (infinity, etc). I was ready to buy when I listened to the b&w's, but I just couldn't tell myself that they sounded all that great
They are very nicely priced at under 400 a pair and 600ish for the sub, but they didn't evoke any emotion from my favorite cd's while I listened.
The one thing that I have concluded is that I DON'T need to spend a ton of money since it doesn't make a difference to my ear anyhow.. Should I just go with a very affordable, but quality system (ie those smaller systems from axiom, 600 b&w, etc) and be done with it?
