Onkyo
Decent speakers for mid-level AVR
Greetings,
First time poster here. I am looking to upgrade my home theater setup with a better set of speakers. Been doing a lot of research, worried if the speakers i am looking at are going to be able to be driven with my AVR
I have an Onkyo tx-rz50 that pushes 120 watts into two channels. i omly have mains, a center channel and small surrounds. Well, i do have this massive folded horn sub but it has its own amp.
Been looking used in my area. Listned to a set of paradigm premier 85f. Nice, but a little bright for my liking. There is a local with a set of Focal aria 948. I hear gppd things about them, but also hear they are power hungry.
I dont really "rock out" much anymore, typical classic rock and 90s alternative rock se sensabilities. and home theater of course.
Any thoughts? trying to stay under $4k for a pair. i know that is pretty low end for auudiophile, but what can i say... i own 7 motorcycles and only one pair of speakers.
thank you!

@pdxmonkeyboy Good luck with your audition of the 948's. I really am a fan of the Focal sound and paid $2,400 for my 926's (gently used of course) so $1,600 for the 948's from my perspective is a steal. Give us a full report afterwards including how they might fit in with your amp you purchased. |
