Book shelve speaker for Denon 1312

[saifucmp]

Hi All,

Please suggest me to select two bookshelve speakers for my denon AVR 1312, i think floor stander is not suitable for me ,i have a small room, my purpose is mainly to watch movies, tv. I have seen from searching this forum polk tsi 200 or polk rti A1 as good option..presently i have no plan to upgrade with sub or surround.

Expecting your advice

Thanks to all

Regards,
Saifu

I'd generally recommend a tower if you won't be running a sub because you'll get much better bass response. If you can fit them, the Pioneer SP-FS51 floorstanders are $199 a pair at Newegg right now. They're not large or imposing but should reach pretty low and sound very good.

Otherwise consider a pair of Infinity P163s from Amazon or the Audioholics store for $170.

If Polk, I'd definitely go with the RTiAs over the TSIs, but what exactly is the budget?

 

[jonnythan]

Both of the speakers he listed are a little under $300 a pair, for what it's worth.

I definitely agree with the A1 over the TSi if you insist on Polk, but I'd go another direction entirely.

Hard to make recommendation without budget, but I'd as a rule of thumb stay away from Polk products - I wasn't impressed by RTi or TSi... LSi/9 were pretty good, but cost WAY too much

Hmm... You need very efficient speakers with extended low-end...hmm

Primus P163 are decent choice, but I would highly recommend these:
CMT-340 SE Mini-Tower Loudspeaker

Also Klipsch RB-61 II might be good choice too, for even lower extension and higher efficiency, that is you like Klipsch sound - it's love or hate thing

hmm for this budget, you best choice would these towers:
SP-FS52
SP-FS52 - Andrew Jones Designed Floorstanding Loudspeakers, re-engineered for 2012 | Pioneer Electronics USA


Yes, I know you said you preferred bookshelf speakers, but with sub - small bookshelf sound with movies will never be great

The Pioneer is a good option

For Bookshelf - look at a nice pair of Boston Acoustics CR7's
on Ebay

Klipsch Icon VB-15 and Klipsch VC-25 Center Speaker. Check Ebay they have a couple pairs there. I really like these speakers and they seemed to open up more and sound even better. I'm so surprised by these little speakers. They are not the best out there, but If you are on a budget you can't beat the price and nice sound quality. I bought the Infinity 163 speakers and didn't like them.

Another good option for ya:

S-Series Home Audio Speakers - SVS

Assuming they are going in a larger room like a living room, I think it will be challenge to find bookshelf speakers that will play as loud as you might like for $250. Look at the Klipsch as they have a reputation for being able to play loudly; however, recognize that whatever speakers you end up with, you will likely need to exercise moderation or you will ask too much of the speakers.
If they are for a bedroom you should be fine.
Your room size is useful information for your question.
