Mitch_J, I've ordered the Ascend speakers which come with the HSU VTF-2 sub. It's such a high rated sub, I thought I'd also try the Aperion speakers with it to compare apples to apples. Is there a reason I should use the Aperion sub? John, I didn't try the 2400. I'm trying to stay within my...
Ok, to further confuse the issue. I auditioned the receivers mentioned at my local dealer last night. To my ears, the Yamaha allowed me to hear more detail but was a much brighter sound than the Denon. The Denon 2803 had a warmer, more mellow (if that's a correct term)sound. Then the salesman...
I've narrowed my choice of speakers to the Ascend CBM-170 front and surround, CMT-340 center, SU VTF-2 sub) and Aperion (522-D front and surround, 522D-C center and HSU VTF-2 sub). I'll be ordering both to test and would like your advice on which receiver you think would sound better, the Denon...
steve nn, you've got it right. I'd like to spend around $1500 for the front, center, rear, and sub. Guys, I'm not necessarily set on the B&W 601 speakers, those are just the speakers I liked best of the ones I've heard. I could try the 602s and I know that I would probably like them...
I'm building a HT setup and I'd like recommendations for 5.1 speakers in the $1,500 +/- range. Size constraints in placement limit me to bookshelf type speakers. My room is 13'x 22'. My current favorites are B&W DM601/LCR60/ASW600. Use will be 40% tv, 40% DVD, 20% music.
I'm just getting started putting together my first HT system and will be buying my book shelf speakers and receiver first. I want to spend around $1500 for my speakers. My room is 13' by 21'. I watch 50% tv, 35% DVD, and 15% music. I've tested a few speakers (B&W, Def Tech, Mirage Omnipolar)...
I want to transition from a 27” direct view tv, with DVD, VCR, and Direct TV dish/recorder to a HD/HT setup with surround sound capability. My budget is $5,000 - $6,000 for tv, receiver, speakers, and HD capability to be purchased over the next 6 months. I will integrate the existing DVD and VCR...
