I am a newbie.Planning to buy Yamaha RX-V2500 Receiver . But I have no idea to select the right speakers.
I am planning to install in my living room. Size of the room is 8 ft length, 6 ft breadth and 16 ft height.

Please help me in selecting the right brand, quality, and the right spec.

Thanks
Nanda

can we get a check on those measurements ? 6 x 8 is not a very big floor space... typo, maybe ?

Could be...or he may be in jail. Just kidding Nanda. Polks go good with Yamahas...there not too high priced either.

Nanda, you have the cart before the horse, let me explain. The receiver has little to do with the sound you hear when you have your system set up. Speaker choice and room acoustics is 95% of it. The process goes like this; go to every audio store in your area that you can and audition as many speakers as you can in your price range and pick the ones that sound the best to you. Only after you have selected your speakers do you pick a receiver. The receiver you choose will be one that has enough power to drive the speakers you have chosen and has the features you want. You mate the receiver to the speakers you have chosen, not the other way around.

Hope this helps to get you started.

Oh yeah, I didn't notice that he hasn't purchased the receiver yet (I thought he already did). Nick250 is absolutely right!!! Place the speakers of higher importance than the receiver (i.e. spend a bigger chunk of your budget on the speakers and subwoofer if purchasing one).

Thank you folks for the information. Can anyone provide the website address to buy quality speakers?
