I certainly appreciate the help, guys. I'm not exactly new to audio, but I would say that I am not familiar with everything out there, I haven't heard every speaker out there. I am a sucker for big speakers, thats why I'm looking for big ones to replace these with. I know big doesn't mean...

Don't be a shitbag. I just don't want to get something that isnt a good match, especially to my amplifier.

my HK receiver puts out 120/150 rms at 8/4ohm while i think the 10 watts nominal would be okay for like 40rms, i dont want my insurance to buy my new speakers only to be overpowering them, since i often listen to music very, very loud.

Yeah last time I checked Vann's did not ship to Canada. Those look like nifty speakers, but 10 watts nominal RMS and 250 peak? Is it just me or do these not seem to handle that much?

I appreciate the help, but my replacement cost insurance means that i get a replacement that is brand new, among current models on the market. I looked in to the Cerwin Vega's, and they do not ship to Canada.

I can appreciate that bigger does not mean better, and I am in no way implying that. I have auditioned many, but only smaller sized units. I am not trying to imply that I believe bigger is better, but I do want a big set of speakers such as JBL, Klipsch, Energy, etc like brands that the adjuster...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keep in mind, these speakers sounded great, as they had different drivers in them. I understand you guys don't have much value for Fisher, but I am looking for stuff that is like mainstream brands (as suggested by the adjuster, he told me to find a pair i would...

Yes, we did have this convo before! I had lost the thread and couldn't find it. Basically, the insurance company has given me instruction to research and find something of similiar dimension to what I had before that I would be happy with. Obviously the size of the drivers does not indicate...

I am in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I appreciate the offer, but as I have the upgraded replacement cost insurance, I am looking for a brand new speaker from a current lineup.

Hey guys, I posted a little while ago about having the drivers replaced in my old floorstanding studio monitors, and the general consensus seemed to be that replacing the drivers just wouldn't cut it. You see, while my home was having some renovations done, my giant speakers were damaged...

Does anyone else have any tips? :frowning:

Thanks for your input Wayne, but its pretty much either get replacement drivers or buy a new set, since its an insurance job. I don't really have the luxury of waiting around to find some on eBay or the like. Basically I need some info about replacement drivers, though it looks like I won't...

I use JBL Arena Venue bookshelf speakers in my room with a Velodyne DPS-12 subwoofer, powered by a harman/kardon HK3485 since my bedroom is hella small, like 9ft x 7ft For music downstairs I have some huge floor speakers from the 70's n 80's :P

ooh okay neat hey a bit off topic, but how long does it usually take for a new thread to get approved? :P

Personally I have found that harman/kardon receivers sound great with JBL speakers...well considering they are both from harman industries :P I am sure that you can find what you are looking for even in their lower level receivers such as the AVR-147, if not then move up to the AVR-247, then...

If it hasn't emitted any smoke, then I don't think its anything to worry about. I bought a HK3485 (their high power two channel) and it had a smell on it for a little bit while my AVR 347 did not I guess some do, and maybe some dont? I've had my HK3485 for five or so months now and I...

hey what kind of velodyne is it?

I bought a pair of the JBL Arena bookshelf speakers from their Venue line, and I'm quite pleased with the Venue series as far as quality goes. I have heard good things about their matching sub as well. I was considering getting the matching sub, but I got a wicked deal on a Velodyne DPS-12...

Hey guys! First time poster here. I'll apoligize in advance for the long post, but I could really use some help! You see, I was out of my home for quite some time due to renovations, two days shy of six months to be precise. Among many other things, my beloved giant speakers got...
