I just got me an Onkyo 160. Now I need help deciding which speakers to get.
Now its time for the speakers. I like the following two sets:
Set #1
Polk Monitor 70 for the main front left and right speakers.
and
Either the Polk CS20 or the CS2 for the center speaker. I dont know which one. They both look really similar.
Set #2
From tSc I like the TST3 line for the main front left and right.
For the center I like the TC2.
The pros' from set one:
*Everything I order from Newegg is at my house in one day...two tops.
*I like the size of the center speaker. Its quite large for a center speaker with 6.5" drivers.
*I like the Polk Audio name.
*Its about $40 to $90 cheaper (depends on which center I buy) than set #2.
*UPS will deliver it to the front door of my house. (Fed-ex doesnt. I have 10 acress. My house sits in the middle of the land. You cant see the house from the main road. Whenever fed-ex delivers something it goes to my closest neighbour...over 1,000 feet from my house.)
The pros' of set two:
*I really love the looks of the TST3s! They are large and I love the all aluminium drivers (although I have no idea if thats a good thing, am an audio moron).
*Quality internal components (per some proffesional reviews).
So, what do you guys think?
Both sets are close to the $700 mark (2 main and 1 center). If you guys have other options (at that price range) that I should consider....I'm all ears. The speakers need to be floorstanding though.
Thank you in advance for any input.
