Keep it or sell it?

[Gordon20Hz]

So I seem to have found myself in a sticky situation. Recently back in January Jamo had a contest on Facebook to win a brand-new S35 360 series system. Unsuspectingly I won the system along with a Jamo 210 subwoofer. The bad part is that I just bought a Klipsch RW-12D based on some AudioHolics suggestions (and it was a great suggestion). Essentially what I am trying to get at is; should I sell the Jamo s35 5.1 system to upgrade my fronts (Left,Right,Center)? Then purchase Klipsch reference series for the fronts. This way I can maintain that great look of the Reference Series, as well as acoustic signature. I think what my concern is with the Jamo, that is stopping me from using them is that they just won't sound like a bookshelf. Lacking in the mid range.


Thanks!
Currently for my front left and right i'm using JBL monitor 4206. (Definitely Frankenstein system)

Welcome back! Did you listen to them? I'm guessing YES and you don't like the way they sound. I'd recommend The latest Pioneers 52's for fronts, Pioneer 22 center and the Pioneer 22's bookshelf. Tigerdirect.com sells them and for the money they can't be beat at less than $400 for it. Keep the Klipsch
RW-12D. Reviews: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/pioneer-sp-pk52fs and http://reviews.cnet.com/surround-speaker-systems/pioneer-sp-pk52fs/4505-7868_7-35477425.html

I would sell them and get the Klipsch's. I wouldn't worry about it since you got them for free. They are yours to do what you want with. I know the dilemma and feeling of wanting to horde all the speakers possible, but you'll find that new feeling of other new speakers will wash away your worry.

As interesting as they are (ala Mirage) I'd probably sell them.

Your klipsch sub should'nt have a sonic signature..
From all i've read you'd probably have to spend twice as much to beat the pioneer's..especially at the silly prices they seem to be selling for

I have no floor space to do floor-standing. What do you all reckon I can get for the 5.1 system? its completely unopened.

You could try out the 5.0 to see if you like it at all first.

Sub retails for $200 on amazon, list it for $175obo on Craigslist and go from there. The 5.0 is a grand at Best Buy so maybe start at $900obo. Maybe offer a 5.1 set for $1000obo.. Probably would take a while to sell at those prices though, if you did like $750 you could probably sell it pretty fast.

Get the 2 pairs of the Pioneers 22 bookshelf and center, they are small and have a big sound. All for about $300 and worth it. Check out what the Jamo Is going for on ebay then price it at least 20 bucks less. Also try Craigslist.
