Loudspeakers

[MacManNM]

What speakers have you bought in the past year?


Also, why did you buy them and are you happy with them?

 

[MacManNM]

I bought a complete set of BIC Venturi, and am going to buy the Klipsch RF series.

I am satisfied with the BIC speakers, good value.

I bought and sold some Athena B1s. I was curious to hear them because they were a good price. Not bad at all for $100/pr.

I recently finished my main system by picking up the last pair of A/V-2s. I am VERY happy with them

I got a pair of PSB Image B25. I have been traveling a lot but when the weekend comes.. music and HT with the kids.

I bought Athena Audition speakers this year, back in February. They're the only speakers I've ever had, but I'm deleriously happy with them. I bought 'em cos they sounded really good, and had a ridiculously low price compared to everything else I saw in the shops. Best bang for the buck, I read about 'em, so I got 'em. And I'm a pretty happy camper now.

cheers,

Bought a pair of Fosgate FA51.0 monitors early this year, this was my first jump into the world of Hi-Fi. Paid about $160 for the pair IIRC. About to purchase speakers from Fluance very soon, hopefully.

Bought a pair of Polk R50's because they were on sale and sounded friggin awesome. I think they sound very good and am quite happy with them.

I bought Polk RTi8's and FXi3's. I had a listen at them at Future Shop and was very impressed with the depth and quality of sound. Blueman Group sounds great on them. Sometimes I feel I should have gone with more efficient speakers, but I am happy with them.

I bought the Definitive Technology BP7000SC's, The CLR3000 and The BPVX/P's for my dedicated theater this year... I couldn't be happier with their performance.

MAX,

PSB Image T45

Bought a pair this spring. I've never been happier. What an awesome speaker

I bought 5 Canton Plus XS speakers and a Canton AS 20 C subwoofer.

I moved into an small apartment and was unable to use my previos gear, which is currently in storage. I was very impressed by the Cantons...first time...

Cheers...

Bought a pair of Klipsch rcw-5's [in-wall] crossed over at 60Hz and sound great!

 

[Nomo]

2 pair of Yamaha NS-333s for surrounds and a NS-444 as a center. The 333s sound great. I probably could do better for a center although it blends relatively well with my Technics fronts.

A few months ago I began purchsing my first "real" system by purchasing Ascend 170's (l/r) and 340C. I just got HTM 200's (surr) delivered yesterday.

I am loving the performance, clarity and neutrality of the fronts, and am very excited to get the surrounds mounted today and/or tomorrow.

I bought Polk Monitor 70s because they are a good budget speaker, and I got them at a great price. I am happy with them, even more so since this site recommended more power for them, and I seperately amped them with the purchase of a used Rotel RB 991 200 w/ch stereo amplifier. Of course I still dream of the Dali or Sonus Faber speakers or at least an upgrade to the Polk LSi15s, but I can't afford them at the moment I heard a demo of Dali Megaline speakers at a high end store in Boston, and they sounded so lifelike, it wasn't like stereo at all. (but they were 20 grand).

I purchases a used pair of Paradigm Reference Studio v.2 60's. Also a used CC Studio center v.2.

 

[anamorphic96]

I purchased a pair of Energy C1's and im quite happy. Very neutral with no glare.

Looking at the Energy RC10's in the near future.

Polk Audio R30's, CSi25 and an Infinity PS-12

I purchased the R30's earlier this year when I realized that the Technics floorstanders I had been using had malfunctioned(1 or 2 drivers in each cabinet was not working). Of course the R30's couldn't match the bass of the old Technics so I had to buy the Infinity sub to reinforce the bottom end. Saw the CSi25 on sale for less than $80 and thought it might be a good time to match up the LCR channels once and for all. Csi25 sure beats the free with receiver KLH I was using as a center, however, it did work flawlessly for the last 4 years.

 

[mkossler]

Bought Acoustic Research ARVP 600s and HC-6's for surrounds. They sound fantastic with the SVS 20-39 cylinder.

I know nobody else round these parts has ARs. Don't care.

So there.

See sig, and very happy (especially the ep500)
