    What speakers would be a "natural" upgrade from the Energy Take 5.2's?

    I have the Energy Take 5.2 system (PB-10 sub) in my bedroom, and even with less than ideal placement, they sound great. They're crisp and detailed with excellent clarity. I would like to upgrade to speakers with a similar but "better" sound with improved bottom-end capabilities and wider...

    Paradigm Atoms...a disapointment! Where'd the guitar go!!

    Man, what a disappointment! I just upgraded from the Energy Take 5.2's to the Paradigm Atoms. Having auditioned their Mini Monitors and Studio 20's so I expected at least fidelity and clarity. I know they are not in the same class but given the overwhelmingly positive reviews...I thought it...

    Best sound for the size.

    I'm stuck with a setup that forces me to look at speakers no taller than 11.5 at or below $450/pr"! 5 months of looking and I still haven't been able to decided on a setup, and a reascent audition of the Mini-Monitors vs. B&W 303s didn't help! :frowning: I'm have narrowed it down to speakers...

    Is it possible that refurbished HK receivers might be better than new ones?

    Follow my train of thought here... New HK AVR's seem to come with some problems. So, someone buys a NEW HK, identifies a problem with the receiver. Person return/exchanges receiver. Problems seem to pop up very soon after purchase so receiver is by all intents & purposes, new. HK takes this...

    Denon 2803 Vs. H/K 325? Which is better overall?

    I've narrowed it down to these two. Ruled out the 1804. I really like the HK 325. It has nice features like Ezset and seems to have great warm, neutral sound and power won't be an issue for the HK in terms of diving my Energys. Right?.I found the HK 325 refurbished for $389 by an Authorized...

    Is the Denon AVR-1804 worth it or is there a better reciever in that Price range?

    I was almost sold on the 1804 but upon closer inspection I have a couple of new concerns. -It has a Fixed Point Melody DSP instead of a floating point Melody HH SHARC DSP. -Does not have dts 96/24 5.1 for DVD-Video Processing -A/D Conversion of 24/48. (would prefer 24/96) -Component BW of...

    SONY 50'' LCD Vs. SAMSUNG 43'' DLP

    I'm ready to join the digital TV revolution. I'm weary of plasma because of burn in & price. So I've narrowed it down to 2. The Sony kf-50xbr800 lcd rear-projection and the samsung hln437w dlp Monitor. I'm leaning towards the SONY but I've heard that DLP technology is more reliable (lcd's have...

    I've had my Yamaha RX-V620 & JBL NSP1 System for a couple of years. Though I'm happy with the sound, it's not what I hoped for. My dream was the Denon avr2802 and the Energy Take 5.2 combo. Today I walked into BrandsMart and was SHOCKED to find the Energy Take 5.2's for $298! :emoji_thumbsup: So...

    Did I make the wrong choices?

    I purchased a HT system about 3 months ago. I did alot of looking around, and being an engineer I thought I was "smart" enough(spec.-wise) to make the right choices. I finally decided on the Yamaha RX-V620 receiver, the JBL NSP1 speaker system, & the JBL PB-10 Sub. I thought that given their...
