well I don't mind spending up to $1000 max for the speakers. Ideas about stands are much appreciated--never gave it any thought! I did go to a store and heard the PSB Imagine B which was very nice indeed. Was told that it's the best thing out there in its price range and clearly superior in sound to many of the $600/pr options. Have also read good things about the Dynaudio Excite X12 but that might be hard to find in a store. Wonder if these others you folks have mentioned in a lower price bracket can compare?!
Bookshelf speaker ideas....
I am looking for a nice set of bookshelf speakers and will have them on stands.
Want to do some serious enjoying of classical, jazz and soft rock music in my collection. Have a decent 55 wpc Onkyo receiver. Reading up on Polk RTi A3, Klipsch RB-81II and Energy RC10. Obviously, I am not looking to spend in three figures. Called a well regarded stereo store who doesn't do the "boutique" brands and claims there are speakers to be had for around $300 a pair that are "better than monitors".....any thoughts on all this? I am trying to sort this all out and it's hard to find stores that have a lot of brands to compare. Thanks!
