Hey everyone,

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on which would be a better buy, the TST2's or Yamaha 777's. The TST2's are $450 and the 777's are on ebay for $360 plus shipping. Which of the two would have better bass? In general, what are the pro's and con's of each. I would hate to spend the money on the speakers and once I get them not be satisified, even though TSC has the 30 day trial.

I for one would go with the TSC speakers. I love my Yamaha AVR's but I am not a fan of their speakers myself....TSC has gotten great reviews as well........

Not really a fair question.

Speakers are wondrous and widely varied creatures. The reason there are so many out there is that each sounds different. And, the reason they sound different is because everyone has different preferences.

Since the audible differences don't correlate to price differences, comparing the "value" of two speakers is specious at best.

And, trying to accurately describe the sound of a speaker, much less comparing two, to someone who has heard neither is sort of like trying to verbally describe the flavor of chocolate to someone who has never tasted it.

IOW, if "value" is what you're after, go for the one with the deepest discount. In either case, even if you go for the most expensive one, there's no guarantee you'll like the sound.

And, no matter how much you saved, if you don't like the sound, it ain't no bargain.

But, a free trial is hard to argue with.

I've had Yammy speakers in the past and they've all been at least passable or decent. But for the money, I don't think you can go wrong with any of TSC's tower speakers. I'm anxiously waiting for my order of TST3s to arrive. :D

I agree, go with the TSC speakers - you won't regret it.
