Through my accomodations at Circuit city, I can obtain a pair of polk LSi-9 speakers for $410 shipped. Did a lot of searches on this forum, and found that this is a spectacular deal. But now I am not sure if I have the proper equipment. I am just an audiophile 16 year old kid right now with some spare cash from working too damn much.
equipment right now
reciever is Harmon Kardon AVR130
A sony dvd player I got for a $149 a year ago. (using digital coax for connection)
- 1 year old pair of Bose 301's (which I plan on replacing)
- infinity alpha center (something nice during movies)
- some older bose speakers for surrounds
keep in mind this is mainly for music, and I know mixing the speaker brands isnt very good, but I just normally do stereo listning
Using a 12" rca sub i got from radio shack for like 100 dollars a year ago. (doing a DIY subwoofer with an 11cubic foot box tuned to 20hz using a 15" resonant engineering HC)
I am pretty sure using this equipment would def not be using those lsi9's to their full potential. I just bought the receiever, and keep in mind I only make about 300 worth of spending money every month (but don't really want to spend ALL that towards audio gear)
How would the lsi-9s sound with just this equipment in comparison to my bose 301's? Or what else should I buy (within a 300-400 price range) to make the lsi-9s sound better? (like power amp)
