ELT525M speakers ...

[Longbluesquid]

Well right now im running them with a Gizmo amplifer. But in the next 3-6 months i plan to upgrade everything ( preamp/amp, integrated, dedicated cd player and hopefully a DAC ) I want to run these speakers on stands keep these until i get a hold of towers for cheap. What would you guys reccomend for a good small system. Mostly be playing cd's and my Zune. I was curious about my speakers cause im afraid they might not be good for a living room sized room.

If you dont foresee going multi channel any time soon, same money and get a Stereo Integrated Amp. You can get some very good ones for $250-500 shipped.

Look for Onkyo, Marantz, Nad on www.audiogon.com

I completley agree with this. I would also look for Cambridge Audio. Their lower models tend to be fairly inexpensive but very good. I've owned a few Marantz integrateds and I have been pleased. The NAD C320BEE is also easy to find used and very good.

Audioadvisor has some great deals on Cambridge Audio and NAD.

Im looking at integrated amplifers that I can run as a preamp in the future... Im still debating on a subwoofer cause ive now matured in audio ( and music ) im only 19 im not a big fan of boom boom everywere.. right now my bookshelves cut off at 60hz i believe so i would want a clean, powerful smooth sounding sub... or else ill save and get towers....
