Their side firing woofers are extremely sensitive to placement. The Vifa tweeter in the 15s make the upper range sound somewhat comparable to the Rocket 750s (totally different crossover design). I actually preferred the 750s for two channel music ahead of the Polks, but this probably had more...
Here's to my NEW (well, new, demo, and used) portable, ups-double-box-insurance-special, HT for impoverished grad students working in a pseduo non-profit job...

Final bump.... I've sold mostly everything in the original post... hmm, not many local buyers. This is a great sub for someone with a starter system or college student.
LOL... the new KEFs. Are you talking about the Q series or the QX series? I actually own the Q55.2s for my mains and some KEF Cresta 30s as my rears. BTW, I'm selling the Cresta's right now. KEF speakers are excellent deal for their price point- I found my 55.2s for $525 (delivered) on...
Sorry about the mispelling in the title.... Anyways one more: ASW Genius 100 & 200 Bright speakers or the polite response would be EXTREMELY REVEALING. If you like Klipsch, try these at about half the size. When I was flirting with the monitor/sub upgrade idea, I was initially drawn to the...
After reading the numerous online audio and home theater forums, I've caught hi-fi bug and spent an exhoribant amount of money assembling my system... (at least according to my income and modest bank acount:frowning: ) I started with a budget of $1200 for three fronts... here are my...
UPDATE: Doh, flaky people. Center channel for sale again. Does tax season really influence ppl's buying habits that much? Oh, I might be able to arrange for shipping, but shipping and insurance is the responsibility of the buyer. All speakers are finished in black ash. If you need more...

If you are in the NYC area or find a dealer, try the Accurate Sound Wave (ASW) Genius line (Cosmophonic on the UES for Genius, Innovative Audio Midtown East for the B&W and Linn stuff). Genius 200's run 1500 per pair (3750 for front, center, and surrounds) with a used REL Storm III. One of the...
Hmm, Friday night and I have to stay in to work Saturday mornings... this is why I invest in mid-fi 2-channel audio. I found a pair of NHT SB3s (demo, scratch on one speaker visible under direct lighting, 1/4" nick on the other) at my local hifi store for $350 (they retail for $600). So scour...
Great review. As a novice I appreciated your avoidance of jargon for the descriptions of individual speaker characteristics/qualities. I guess people are entitled to paying a bit more to improve WAF or if they enjoy natural woodwork (unfortunately, I fall into this category with an upcoming...
KEF Cresta 3 For Sale: Like new, owned less than 1 month. I was going to use these for my mains but decided to go with monitors instead. They are GREAT speakers and I wasn't able to return them since I bought them on closeout ($380 with tax). I have the boxes and manuals but rather sell locally...
Ok...here's my dilemma: Current system- Yamaha RX-2095 Main: ?? Center: ?? Rears: NHT SB-3 (8 ohm speakers) I'm currently planning to upgrade my front and center channel with 4 ohm speakers w/ around 89-90 db sensitivity. I listen at low to moderately high volume levels (currently, 10-11...
Even though this is a HT forum and not a music forum, I thought a subwoofer question would be appropriate to this forum and audiogon/audioasylum. I'm upgrading my fronts to mid-sized towers with a center. My final purchase is pending the sale of my old system, but I was wondering about a...
