I have to agree with cd318- While in my younger days I had JBL and Cerwin Vega and Bose speakers that “kicked ass” they did not do justice to the music. Now I have spent a little more money on sources, amplification and speakers and get a more natural and accurate sound.
Speakers Bought Brand New For The Cost Of A Good Night Out, That "Kick Ass".
Around 3 1/2 year ago bought a Pr. of the "Andrew Jones" Pioneer SP- FS52's at a Clearance Centre in Australia for $222 for my Kitchen System. Great value as they now retail at $699 over here. Good for a small area but don't go real loud.
Just recently purchased a Pr. of Pure Accoustics Super Nova 5's for $99! These little beauty's absolutely "kick ass" for the money. Much bigger sounding than the Pioneers, with a more thumping bass response, although not quite as refined. Very happy with these for such little money. Will use these or the Pioneers in a Patio set up, and the other in the kitchen set-up, which will eventually be System #7. I am using Electronics well above what would normally be used which helps.
Anyone else picked up a "brand new" set of bargain Speakers and been blown away?
