I helped my cousin match that same receiver with Athena speakers. If you can find some Tannoy MX series speakers, they would be a good pickup. Lots of good value price/performance cables available.
Best Budget Rig sub $600
Hey out there.
I'm a college student currently running a pair of Sennheiser 600s through a Rega Ear amp. This minimalist setup has served me well throughout my college years. In a few months I'll be moving into my own apartment and I'm ready to invest in my first substantial home audio system.
Here's the deal:
I don't care about surround-sound. I just want 2 channels. All I want is an amp and a set of left/right speakers.
Anyone have any recommendations? It's going to be a relatively small apartment and I am not going to need a ton of volume. (I don't want to disturb my new neighbors)
After cables and such, I don't want to spend more than $600 bucks.
After browsing C-net's electronics reviews for a few hours I've come up with the following setup. Let me know if you think I can do better! Here's the best deals I've found:
Amp: Harmon Kardon HK3480 ($260)
Speakers: JBL E90 ($209)
