    Recommendations for floor-standing speakers in the $1500-$2000 range for Hi-Rez music

    Im a fan of JM Labs speakers. You could prob get some mains from the Cobalt or Chorus line or if your lucky you could find some Electra's in your price range on audiogon(usually in the 1500-2000 range they are book shelves though). Sonus faber has some amazing little bookshevles for this...

    Multi vs 2ch?

    So I have begun to wonder why so many people have started going to 5.1 6.1 7.1 or even 8 and 10 ch set ups? So answer me why? To me it seems that to "upgrade" the front soundstage from 2 ta 3 ch is pointless. If you have good speakers then the soundstage and immiging is just as good with 2...

    O.k I went for the Bose AM 10s...now, I need a sub!

    I have a Definitive Technology Pro Sub 80 its an 8in sub thats very tight and it goes retail for about 350ish but you can get it for less I bet.

    New HT.....Starting with LCR for under $400.

    To me the center seemed pointless I really dont think it even helped out the soundfield on movies much at all. I have a set JM Lab Electra mains and had a B&W CM C center ch and the center even though it was still an expensive center but about half the price of the mains it made my set up sound...

    New HT.....Starting with LCR for under $400.

    Dont worry about the center speaker so many people say its the most important but I find that they tend to detract from the sound. I would just go with a good stero pair but thats me...(i just tryed out a center its not matching which might be part of the problem but i did not like it)

    small sub for music only

    Try the Definitive Technology ProCinima Series ProSub 30 its in the right size range for you and has nice tight bass. I have it set up with my JM Labs speakers and it works very well for reproducing music and dvd's.

    JM Labs electra 927Be review

    Mike nice to hear that you love your speakers. I too am a JM Lab owner. I have a pair of 906's that rock the hizzouse. If i had the dough 927's would be in my living room with my 906's or maybe a set of 907's as rearsa and a cc 901 as a front. Ahh dreaming...The detail and transparency with any...

    Help me find a Good Subwoofer Kit!

    I have thought about doing an IB before but well cutting a hole in the wall in my apartment would be a very bad thing and then the deal with the room behind it or above it yeah not so good. But great idea for those that can do it. I talked to a guy that had 12 shiva's mounted below his theater room.

    Funny Bose story

    Nope not really. You can stand around or go mess with coustomers and the second is much more fun. In my department we had some anal retentave girl and some black dude that did all the work and then i just chilled lol. go figure.

    Funny Bose story

    I worked at Circuit City and you do learn alot of company propaganda. Its not that you dont know better its that you tell the coustomer what your taught to say. I used to try to get coustomers to go elsewhere for certian products though. People would come into Circuit City looking for studio...

    The best center channel you've ever heard.

    Since you have not mentioned a budget I will also have to mirror Mike Duke in advocating JM Lab's cc-900 or cc-901 depending on the size of your mains if you go with the Electra 906 or 907 the 900 would be the fit but if you go with a 927 or 937 the 901 would be the match. Any way you go JM Labs...

    Def Tech PF 15TL+

    I bought a Def Tech Pro Sub 80 today and so far I really like it. For a small 8in unit it is great. I heard the super cube too and it was even more awsome but much more expensive. I have not heard the model that you mentioned tho. But my experience with Def Tech so far has been excellent.

    anyone ever use studio monitors? i.e. blue sky?

    Their is nothing wront with using studio monitors in my op but in some applications I think they might break up a bit sooner than a set of hi-fi speakers. If you will remember we use studio monitors to mix music for peoples home speakers. The favorite pair of yamaha speakers that everyone...

    5.1 Speaker setup for around 2K (Dali Suite?)

    You might want to look at the Cobalt line from JM Lab I have not heard them but I own a set of their Electra 906 speakers which are amazing. If you can stretch your budget out over time and go with the Electra 906 or 907be now and get the rest of the speakers later you would have an amazing...

    best bang for buck for bookshelf speakers

    If your looking for party equipment these tiny bookshelves wont come close to filling that room. You would need more like pro sound equipment. I would recomend trying to find some Klipsch speakers for their over all sound will be much better for partying and also you might be able to find like...

    best bookshelf speakers for music/ht for around 400-500 bucks!

    The polks that I tried out were muddy with the mids. The highs were crisp and clear. I thought you were talking about 500 a speaker not a set sorry.

    best bookshelf speakers for music/ht for around 400-500 bucks!

    Polk makes the Rti 7's or Rti 9's at the same price point. To me they were a bit muddy but this might be what you like. This is the price range speakers I started out going for but ended up with somethign twice as expensive. Try the B&W 602's it think it is. I was not a big fan of them they...

    Onkyo 602 vs. HK 330 vs. Pio 1014

    Well if you are a bass freak then get something else other wise a sony sub is not that bad. I mean it only will be handling from about 20-45hz so whatever and If you have tower speakers not even that much of the range so whatever.

    Thinking about Surround

    The cc-800 looks like it should match up well now to get to Hi-Tech Inovations to listen to them. I guess Monday will be the next time they are open. But I think I will be taking a look. I want to stay with the JM Lab brand because I was blown away with the 906 speakers they would have been way...

    Speaker 'shutting down' noise?

    Is it just at random or not? Some speakers are known to make some wacky sounds when you have a cell phone that is ringing near by. My guitar amp creates soem wack sounds when the cell phone is around.
