Ok so will the primus be louder or the same as pioneerHow much louderSorry for repeating the question because I am too dumb to understand

 

[schan1269]

If you ever want to see what real honest to God power sucks off the wall...

Hafler DH500 (last I checked 8.2 off the wall...255wpc at 8ohm)
Kenwood M2A (6.9 off the wall...200wpc at 8ohm)

 

[schan1269]

There is a review on Audioholics for the Pio AJ as well. It never dips below 6.4(for the tower).

Essentially, both sets of speakers are beginner sets your are going to get the upgrade bug with in 2-4 years.

These aren't Polk RTi or JBL ES that you'd have for 15 years.

Or Zu or Ohm Walsh you'd be leaving to your favorite grandchild in your will.

Is primus worth $80 more per piece

 

[schan1269]

I'd buy the used Infinity before I bought the Pio AJ or settled for the Primus.

Are there any Infinity Beta near you used?

 

[csh]

Nope looked at a couple of search enginesWill the 15 yr old rs 525 be better than these new?

 

[schan1269]

Here are the main speakers in my 4 theatres....

Infinity Crescendo 3007
BIC V830
DCM TF600
Polk S6

Look those up. You should be able to find each one of those for less than the Pio AJ and Infinity Primus...and all 4 of those will eat either of those for breakfast, shit them out for lunch and mop them up at dinner with some Chianti.

I read on the internet and thet say you will need something like an outlaw amp with the receiver otherwise the polk monitors tsi don't sound good.What do you think?

 

[schan1269]

Where did you see that crap?

[schan1269]

Of course in the same breath the one guy bought the Denon AVR591. I wonder why his set of monitors got louder(which many people mistake louder for sounding better) with the UPA7.

Go from a wheezing 30wpc to 80wpc.

 

[schan1269]

You have spent 10x too long on spending $600-$1000 on speakers.

If you were spending $5000-$15,000...sure.

 

[csh]

HeheI an thinking of getting the monitorsWill the onkyo 717/727 be enough

 

[schan1269]

You are sitting on a goldmine...my God...

By the way. Begging you. BEGGING YOU to consider the KEF C75 with the KEF 2005. Run a 7.1.

You'll still need a sub cause the sub included with the the 2005 package won't make a dent with what the C75 will do in the bass region.

By the way. That Wharfedale sub I said "don't pass on"...

That is $1095.

Here are those three links...

If you don't put that together for $1095. You are the internet idiot of the year.

Edit:
You might, might...get to talk the guy down to $300 on those C75. Depends how pristine there are. There are two pairs on Ebay in the US. One set for $350 and another for $250(seller is also selling with $25 shipping...with 0 feedback. That listing has Greek tragedy all over it)

 

[csh]

Thanks foer your suggestionsWill these work togetherSuch large front speakers and small surround and front ones. Will the small ones get drowned. I have emailed all 3 to see what's available

 

[csh]

What about cerwin vega and klipsh and wharfdale Wikk these work togetherWilk the receiver calibrate output to adjust for sensitivity

 

[csh]

Or mission and kef will avoid the need to get stands

 

[schan1269]

The Onkyo AVR has variable crossovers. No, the smaller KEF won't get drowned out...cause you set gains in the AVR. Or, you let Aid do it.Your 5/7.0 portion should be the same brand. Series as well, but KEF Uni use the same style of tweeter, no matter what series.
