Thanks John, What is your friend using to power his Rockets?

Well, it's that time to buy a receiver for my new HT (23 X 15). I have Onix Rockets (750s up front, 250s in the back, dipoles, and a 'Bigfoot' center), and I'm trying to decide on a receiver that will handle an even split of music and movies. Budget is about $1,000. Bells and whistles aren't as...

Okay, I may have to define what I mean by 'pounding' music, because I think there may be a misconception of what I'm looking for here. I'm not talking about heavy speed metal or anything — I mostly like classic rock and blues. I was getting the impression that the MMGs were really only suited to...

Yes, but the thing I hear time after time is that the MMGs lack bottom end, and don't do well with rock music or action-type movie soundtracks. For mids and highs, they're supposed to be very detailed — many say that they're wonderful for piano, classical, and vocals. Since I predominantly...

Yes, it seems that Canadian speakers have a lot to offer -- I'm having trouble choosing between PSB, Energy, Paradigm, Axiom, etc.

Yes, I'm just talking about a pair of front speakers. I'm thinking full range towers rather than bookshelves for music. What about offerings from PSB? Thanks

What are your favorite speakers (bookshelves or preferrably towers) which handle music/movies well and are in the $600 range?

Hello all, I currently have a HK AVR-330 but am looking at other options for my new HT. In addition to movies, I'd like to use it for quality 2-channel music listening as well. Would I be better off with something like a Marantz SR-4500 or NAD T742 (or similar budget)? What about offerings...

Part of the reason for changing out the SB2s/SB1s is that they're the gloss white finish. We currently have them in our family room where they fit the decor, but now that I'm building a dedicated HT room, I'd much prefer the black. I know it's a trivial aesthetics thing, but . . . It's really...

Thanks for the responses so far. How do the SB-2s stack up against the Ascends, Axiom M3ti, or B&W DM-303? Those were the others I was considering. Also, how do the offerings from Fluance and HTD compare? They look nice, but are they just out of these other speakers' league? Thanks again.

I'm putting a home theater in my basement — the dimensions are 20' x 16'. I currently have an HK AVR-335 as my main receiver, with a pair of NHT SB2s for fronts, SB1s for surrounds, an NHT SC1 for a center and a Dayton 10" sub. I'd like to eventually upgrade all of these components, starting...
