    Which Receiver for My Speakers

    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...

    Recommendations within my Speaker Budget

    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.
