Hello all again,
Well I have been auditioning speakers for I guess the past week and ran into a snag. Just for the heck of it I auditioned a pair fo Paradigm Studio 20 v2's and was astounded at how much better they sounded then the budget speakers I had been listening to. I dont know the right terminology for music but to me they sounded invisible. Like the sound sucked me in and I forgot I was listening to a reproduction.
Well the reason I came to post again is because that experience has shifted my whole HT insight. I am now going to raise my budget for this project quite considerably. With that being the case I now more then even really need some sound advice on what to audition in your opinions.
My budget is now $3,000 for the front left and right and the center so they are timbre matched. The reciever I am going to use is either the Denon 3800 series or 4800 series depending on how much amplification I need. I figure either will sound about the same since they are coming from the same manufacturer.
So if you had the budget I have what would you audition? THank you again in advice. Cant begin to tell you how much fun I have been having with this. My only fear is I will get addicted to is. =)
