Firstly, thanks for having me here! I have a love/hate relationship with ht forums, because while I've learned much from different discussion threads, I find that my hobby of collecting inexpensive gear is generally snubbed. Look, I don't have a dedicated home theater room - I have a den - that must be shared with my wife. I don't budget myself a lot for this habit, because I frequently like to change things up. I don't see the need to spend tons of cash for such a small space. However, I'm no noob. I've owned at least a dozen entry to mid-level receivers over the past 15 years from Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, Onkyo, and Panasonic. There was even an RCA DD from Radio Shack, which I believe was manufactured on the Pioneer assembly line. There have been many cheap speakers as well! KLH, Polk, Jensen, Sony, Energy, Yamaha, JBL, Pioneer have all found a home in my theater at some point. There was even a set of Klipsch I spent too much on. I do enjoy finding sonic gems buried in the mass-produced-for-big-box-stores desert of consumer electronics. If you wanna discuss Anthem or Outlaw, I'm not your guy. But if you find a well-reviewed pair of bookshelf speakers for under $100, talk to me! My (modest) current setup consists of a Denon AVR-E300 receiver, powering some Bic America DV-32B for fronts and surrounds, with the DV-32CLR as center, with a JBL sub from the Leviton HTIB. I did have the Pioneer Andrew Jones series for front and center, but they just overwhelmed the room, so I dragged the Bics out of the garage, and they still sound pretty sweet.
NOW, I DO HAVE A QUESTION, FINALLY! Has anyone actually listened to the Micca speakers that have taken Amazon.com by storm? The MB42X in particular? Thinking of trying those out...
