If you've got $8k to burn, you might be best off to get 2 pair of speakers on the used market. Allocate, say, $1000 for a pair of thrashers to listen to rap, country, and your playstation on. Then funnel the remaining $7000 into a worthy pair of exotics to listen to MUSIC on. Let your ears be the judge. And as many have pointed out, different speakers will behave differently with associated equipment. What is the output voltage and impedance of a playstation anyways? Yikes! The very thought makes me cringe. And just out of curiosity, what type of performance/ characteristics does one look for in a pair of $8000 video game speakers??
Help with speaker selection, please
I run everything in my system through my main speakers...satellite, PlayStation 2, VCR, CD, etc. I also listen to virtually every type of music--rap, country, classical, jazz, and so on. I'm about to buy new speakers in the $8,000 range, and I prefer to use solid-state equipment, although I will be buying a new amp with whichever speakers I choose. Would you please weigh in on the following possibilities:
Quad 989
Merlin VSM-Millenium
Red Rose Classic
ProAc Response (new 3.8's or used 4.0's)
USED Talon Khoruses
USED Avantgarde Duo 2.1
OR
Any other speaker you might recommend. Thanks so much for your input.
