speaker questions

[MrSmith]

Just ordered a Onkyo TX-SR 502. Now i'm just looking for speakers. Only interested in a Stereo set up now, cause of very limited space. Wondering if I should go with bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer (if even needed) or something a lil more powerful? somewhere in the price range of 300-500 dollars more if a subwoofer is needed for better quality sound.


Thanks in advance for anything.

[edit] P.S. i'd go listen to speakers but there nowhere on guam that i know that specializes in home audio so i could listen to speakers. [/edit]

MrSmith, what kind of music do you listen to? When you say your setup is crowded, I take it the room is small. That's good, because you'll potentially need less speaker to fill up a small space.

Many bookshelf speakers are able to ouput frequencies down to 45Hz, so unless you're needing the bottom most octaves you'll be best off putting your full budget on REALLY good bookshelf speakers and skipping the sub.

Either way, I'd stay far away from towers at that price.

Here's a site with Yamaha speakers on sale.
I don't have Yamaha speakers, but several people that frequent this site do.
Anyway, happy shopping

if you can still get a set of the Infinity Alpha 20's (try shopping.com) or some of the medium line Polk bookshelves (RTi-4 or RTi-6). either will have a 6.5 inch main driver that will give decent bass without losing your midrange.
