for years my focus was on visuals enjoyments and ignored importance of sound completely. maybe was because i never had chance to listen to a decent pair of speakers.
for the past decade, my family have had these bose 701 hook up to yamaha rx-v990. we used it for karaoke and music listening, however i was never impressed by it. it was the internet introduced me to understanding that bose is really about brand name and marketing, so few years back i got myself a 5.1 setup made by logitech called Z-5500. it was developed for PC use, but as a HT system they served their purpose well. today as the my interest in music listening grow, im thinking about investing in a new setup mainly for music listening. im new to the world of sound, so i'd like to stay budget for this build, my plan is to still use my existing receiver. so far 2 posible setups i have come up with, tell me what you think, all comments are wellcomed. importantly, the purpose of this setup is for music and some karaoke.
setup 1. two
polk audio monitor 60, for about $220, for sub i'll use my existing logitech sub.
. or .
setup 2.
Energy take 5 a 5 speakers system plus a
Polk Audio PSW10 sub for $200 total. i'll using 4 Energy speakers as front and bose 701 in rear.
plan may look weird, i'll be really happy if they work. please let me know what you gurus think of this since i dont know anything about polk m60 and energy speakers other than from review.
