I'm looking at buying speakers. The only local store here sells B and W, Klipsch and Paradigm speakers. I have listened to pairs in the same price range of all three speakers (Paradigm mini-monitors, SB 2's and DM 601s(?)). They all sound good to my ears. They sell locally here for about $225/speaker or so. How do these bookshelf type speakers compare as front left and right mains as compared to the mains of "packaged" 5.1 systems that sell in the $600-$700 range, such as the packaged deal at Ascend Accoustics or other brands.
Should I buy the whole packaged deal or a couple of the above mentioned speakers and then later buy the center and surrounds? I guess what I'm asking is do the left and right mains of a pre-packaged system sound as good or are as good as a pair of the above mentioned bookshelf type speaker?
Thx for any input/advice, Frank
