I always recommend to listen to as many speakers as you can to find out what you like and don't like. I like The Klipsch Reference series well enough but you may not. How will you use them? movies? What kind of music and how loudly will you play them?
I would probably look into a different sub...
me: movies and games
wife : movies and music
I prefer clarity over loud. I like to feel the base, but I don't need a system that is going to make the block experience an earthquake.
so I went to bestbuy so I could actually listen to something and I came away with two different options in my price range that I liked.
Bower and Wilkins in the 600 series and difinities technologies. I don't know what their average price is online so I will have to research but there is a sale right now on the difinitives. 2 x 8060 for the floors and the center and two surrounds in the 2040 line is all
for 2000. I know bestbuy is over priced so I'm skeptical on the sale but best buy has the two fronts listed at 2000 alone. So it's like your buying the two towers and getting the rest for free!!!! Off to research the speakers and pricing online now.
