I am looking for a center, fronts and surrounds for my Yamaha RX-V630. I have tried most of the local dealers and demo'd Energy, Klipsch and Monitor Audio. I liked the Monitor Audio Silvers the best but had heard that they do not pair well with Yamaha's. I was hoping to audition Paradigm...
The only authorized dealer in "the OC" that I have found is Genesis Audio, found here: http://www.genesis-audio.com/main.htm I have only been in the shop once and it is VERY high end. I am planning on going there myself to audition some Paragigm's Mike
Thanks for the input. What is the general consensus of Axiom speakers? I am looking to get the following: M60T1 VP150 QS8 I have the Yamaha RX-V630 receiver (75w x 6). Questions: 1. If you agree that Axioms would be good, should I go with the center and rears noted, or step down to...
In case anyone is interested, I am stuck with the RX-V630 (for now). I spoke with a salesman at the Good Guys on Friday and he said it would not be a problem to exchange the unit. I explained to him that the unit was purchased more than 30 days ago and he said "not a problem if I was exchanging...
First off, thanks for all of the replies to my posts. OK, here is my next question: I have read that the RX-V2300 can run 4 ohm speakers. I copied this from the specs: LOW IMPEDANCE DRIVE CAPABILITY AND IMPEDANCE SWITCHING Yamaha's famed low impedance drive circuitry is included in...
Thanks, for the info. I appreciate the feedback and think I will make the jump. There was a reason for me only putting Yamaha's in the post :) There seems to be a lot of "debating" between which brand to choose. I figured I wold get more subjective comments if I did it this way. I narrowed...
Thanks for the reply. I like the 630 but am looking for new speakers (fronts, center and rears) and am worried that the 75 watt per channel is not enough. I am looking at Axiom, Monitor Audio and possibly Energy and figured that hte 110 watts would be better... I do not want to regret the...
I purchased a Yamaha RX-V630 about a month ago for $249.00 and am wondering if I made a mistake. I went to Good Guys yesterday and saw that they have an "open box" RX-V2300 for $579.00. Or I can get a RX-V740 for $599.00 The reason I think I made a mistake is that I am not sure if the 630...
Thanks for the reply... I have been looking for wall plates that can handle 3 sets of speakers and that have banana plugs on both sides, anyone know where these can be found. I have had no luck so far
I have 3 pairs of speakers run throughout the house. One being my rear channel pair. I am considering using a Wall plate with banana jacks at the wall behind the receiver. I am wondering if a wall plate will diminish the quality. I plan to use 12 gage speaker wire. Thanks, Mike
Thanks for the reply. I have not purchased any speakers yet. I am replacing a frankensien set that I have had for 15 years. I am really looking for if I should get bookshelf (that can be aimed for desired listening with HT) or wall mounted ones like the Monitor Audio ones n the original post. I...

I hate to bump my own post but I am looking to buy the Monitor Audio Silver 8s fronts online and would like to know if they my 75 watt per channel amp will be adequate to push them in a 15X15 room with a loped (vaulted to one side only) room. Thanks agin, Mike
Thanks for the reply, Do you think that my current receiver will power those speakrs? It is 75 watts per channel RMS. I will definatley look into the B&W speakers that you mentioned. What do you thin kof the Monitor Audio silver series? I was considering the S8 fronts and the SFX...
