hey everyone, im fairly new to this board but have been "into" audio since i was a little kid with his tape player/alarm clock (that sounded like cr*p, btw). so i love audio and much like other audiophiles, my wallet doesnt get to enjoy the weight of the green for very long... =D
i recently have been moving around the country a bit and had to sell off most of my audio gear just because it was too much to haul around everywhere but ive settled down again for my last 1.5 years of school and i need some speakers! im trying to build a 2 channel system primarily for listening to music from my deskop computer (with a prodigy 7.1 LT sound card if anyone cares).
now, yes my sound card can do surround sound when im watching dvds and such but music is all two channel...so where have all the two channel systems gone?
anyone have suggestions for good two channel set ups? all the products i see tend to be components for a 5.1+ system. im really looking for two well performing tower or bookshelf speakers with a modest subwoofer (i.e. i need clarity and quality, not super loudness so the SVS PB12-NSD is out...although im considering the PB10-NSD). i need a receiver as well and i know im probably not going to find a two channel only receiver which is fine so long as it performs well with only two channels in use. i dont /plan/ on extending the system to 5 or more channels anytime so emphasis for my design is really on getting some quality R and L speakers that will really complete the experience for me when coupled with a nice sub.
im looking to spend between 800 and 1000 bucks including the receiver but the less the better! i already have plenty of wire sitting around so thats a non-issue. my room is 10x14x8 with solid concrete walls and carpet. what do yall think?
