Hi All,
I recently purchased a HK DPR 1001 from Fry's (got it for $270 clearanced, not bad eh?). I sold all my stereo equipment a few months ago before a move, so now I'm rebuilding from scratch.
Since I live in an apartment, I was going to get satellites or maybe bookshelves. After comparing listening to music with bookshelves, satellites, and floorstanding speakers (and being used to my previous Energy Audissey 3+2's), I decided I'm going to again purchase floorstanding speakers and build around them.
That being said, I've narrowed my choices down to the following (so far):
Energy Connoisseur C-5
Polk RTi8
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the DPR 1001 and would recommend a particular type of speaker. In addition, what other floorstanding models should I look at in that price range (~$700 pair)? I've also listened to Paradigm and Klipsh and thought they sounded too drowned out, or too efficient perhaps.
Last, if I wasn't happy with the power provided by the DPR 1001, would adding a power amp negate the effect of the 'all digital path'? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Mike
