ok,
just got my h/k avr520 and now it's speaker time
i've narrowed things down a bit, but i'm still not completey decided.
setup 1.
htd level III towers
htd level III center
htd level III mains
sub to be named later - svs 25-31 pci or hsu vtf-2
setup 2. - ascend #22-2001
5 cbm-170's all around
hsu vtf-2 sub
setup 3. -
jbl s310's, s36's or s38's
jbl s center
jbl s26 or s36's
svs or hsu sub
usage will be around 50/50 music/movies. i am leaning towards the htd setup mainly because i like floorstanding speakers for 2 channel stereo listening and won't be getting a sub until probably jan. or feb. i also have some sort of mental block to using bookshelf's and a sub for stereo listening. don't ask because i don't know either, i've just always been a floorstanding kind of person.
i've read equally good things about both the htd and ascend setups for both music and movies at my price point - $1200 - $1500.00, and the jbl's have always kind of been in the picture. i can also listen to the jbl's locally.
with either the htd or ascend setups i'm obviously buying blind, but do have the 30 day return policy. ideally i guess i should order the htd and ascend systems and return what i don't like as much, but that's a bigger chunk of change initally out of pocket than i'm comfortable with right now...
anything i should be asking myself to better narrow things down?
whew, was that enough?
