I have had a pair of Totem Fire monitors for a while now, and every time I venture out to listen to other monitors, the result is the same (the other speakers sound "different", but not "better"). These babies have pretty good bass (for monitors), but I've used a sub woofer with them. They have excellent detail and imaging, and don't seem to be "picky" about room acoustics and placement.
best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?
I have Studio-20 V5s on stands right now for my living room 2.0 music system and, while I like the sound, I need more bass extension.
I don't want to add a sub due to room clutter concerns. So, I am looking fro an upgrade from my Studio20s.
I have been looking into towers but now am thinking, why not stay with sand-mounted speaker since I have the stands already. This is for 2ch music only. My amp is Emotiva UPA-2 SS amp.
Would I do better to go towers or go higher-end bookshelf speakers?
The towers I've been looking at have been
Salk SongBirds/Towers
Ascend Sierra Tower
Silverline Prelude Plus
Thx.
