Denon 2805- Which Speakers

[checkmate]

Which speakers would you reccomend for the denon 2805 Reciever

 

[MacManNM]

We need a little more info from you.

What size is your room? Are they mostly for HT or for music? How much do you want to spend? Do you have a sub already?

 

[checkmate]

Room size is around 5ft by 11ft

I wish to spend around £500 on this and dont have no sub at present.

Im after all in one package and also after a 6.1 speaker package...is it possible to get 5.1 speaker then buy extra speaker to make it 6.1 or do i have to buy a 6.1 system

oh and its mainlky for watching Tv ..movies and music ...

How much is that in USD?

Your room is 11 x 5 ???? Is your equipment in a closet? That seems pretty darn small. I'm thinking 3 pairs of Koss headphones should do the trick.

A local Audio Store told me that Paradigm's are a good match to Denon Receivers. I went in to the store and auditioned them. They sounded awesome to me so I got them.

Its around 1000$ im willing to spend

I do want kind of powerful amps and not to small and less power...and yeh room aint that big.

6 Klipsch RB-15's should work pretty good. I still don't understand how you could put anything in a 5x11 room.

Well im not that fussy on room size because at present im looking for a new house which which will have bigger room size but not sure of its size at present.

But i want to buy the speakers regardless of the room size

Hey there checkmate!

5x11'...sounds like a dorm room hehe! Have you tried Superfi? I pretty much got all my Denon and B&W stuff from the Leeds store. Service is great and I was even able to get them to drop the price on the DVD3910 from £800 to 720quid

Good luck, Mike

Hey, I used to have full sized floor speakers and an 8inch 400watt subwoofer in an 8 by 11 room. Mmmm bass

I recommend a nice speaker package.

A velodyne Deco, or similar system. The Deco is discontinued so you might not be able ot find it, but if you do, it will be nice and cheap.

And your room was almost 50% bigger!!!!!

 

[davenport333]

Meters or feet

That room size sounds more like meters. Yes? That would make it about 16 feet by 23 feet.

I think speakers are primarily a matter of personal preference. You might try going to a few local shops and listen to different speakers to see what you like. Main problem is, you still won't know how they'll sound in your flat. But in the end it's important that you buy a speaker based on how you like it's sound, not how others do.

Assuming you don't have speakers now and are in a rush, here is a cheap temporary option to fill the void until your ready to decide what you really want: I used a $100 HTIB (yeah, I know ) set of speakers for 3 years until I could afford nicer ones. There is no comparison in sound to a "real" set of speakers, but they will sound OK through your 2805 until you decide what to get. With mine, I was adding one nice speaker at a time and replacing a crappy one with it until I finally got rid of the last one (really crappy sub) last week.

Nope, his post says Ft. I think he was guessing. That, or he really wants a bass heavy theater.

maybe you should look at the svs set up. that is in your budget. also you could

look at used speakers on audiogon.com. that would almost allow you to buy 2000 usd or 1000 lbs UK. denon is pretty neutral. your best bet is to buy a ticket to the usa and buy them here . Much cheaper to buy even uk speaker brands here. YOu could look at quads too. do you want bookself or floorstanding.

I don't think he lives in the US.

Like I said, for that size room, any decent HTiB will do. Or a decent speaker package with amp, thats all you need.

I personally think the thing to do at the present would be to invest the entire budget in the best pair of speakers he can lay his ear to. If he's going to be moving into a bigger home soon, then he can upgrade slowly and get a really kicking system that will please him more over time. I listened to some speakers from the UK today that really made me smile, those being the Duo speakers from AVI.

The price is sadly out of his budget, but I know there is some good stuff available over there that would fit his budget. Perhaps something from the B&W 600 series?
