i want better sounding speakers

Breakdown of sound of a system:

Speakers - 35%
Source - 35%
Amp - 25%
Pre-amp - 20%
Cables - 10%

And this doesn't even include the room! See how confusing this hobby can get?

I was just kinda, um, saying that, uh, you know...hmmm.

I heard a guy on T.V. a couple weeks ago say, "Well, you've got about 50% of the people thinking one way and 50% the other. Then everybody else is somewhere in the middle." Thought it applied here. All I know is my system is now working at a full 125%! Alot like those athletes who give 110%!!

Seriously, though, I recently had to sub a pair of $250.00 speakers for the Harbeths which were being repaired. The subs actually sounded damn good and I think a lot of that had to do with the Air Tight and Plinius amps I use. The system almost sounded like a million bucks! (Don't cha hate it when people exagerate? Like I've said ten million times...)

As a graduate of U of M I think you're going to end up with a new amp/pre-amp. Michigan ain't looking too good this year. And how the hell does the alumni association find me every time I move? I graduated in 1976 and haven't given a penny since. Still get letters from them.
