Okay, this should be my last post about my budget speaker upgrade. Just as a reminder this is what my system includes right now:
Polk R20 Mains
Technics SA-DX950 Receiver
Aiwa TS-W150 Subwoofer
My main concern right now is to get new mains so I can use the R20s for rears and then to replace the subwoofer (probably right after Christmas). After that I'll worry about upgrading the receiver. Prior to this setup I was using an all Sony 5.1 set-up, but I like the Polks a lot more so I haven't bothered hooking up the Sony rears. Anyway, after listening to a pretty big range of speakers I've narrowed my choices down to three speakers in the $200-$300 range and I haven't been able to make up my mind on which one I like best.
Keep in mind that I'll be using these as mains for 8 months to a year and they'll probably be paired with a subwoofer in the $150-$200 range (Since the Aiwa is getting replaced). Also, I use my set-up for 50/50 HT and music, but quality for HT use is more important to me. The choices I'm deciding between are:
B&W DM303s
Polk RTi28s
Paradigm Titans
So, for those of you who've used one or all of these, which one would you recommend?
Also, if there are any other speakers you'd recommend looking at in that price range let me know and I'll try to find a store around here that has them so I can take a listen. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: By the way, these speakers will be most likely coming to me as a Christmas present, so if there's another speaker you'd recommend try to keep in mind that it's something I should be able to find locally. Thanks again.
