I'd check out the new Polk LSi series. I've never heard them personally, but the reviews have been great.

I'm deciding between the Energy's and Def. Tech 2004lt.

For that price you could get into the best Axiom has to offer M80 towers, VP150 center and QS8's for rears. Read the reviews. I've listened to them and they are amazing!

How about Def tech?
front BP2004TL $1600 a pair
center CLR2002 $500 each
Rear BP2X $500 a pair

you may not even need a sub. A number of posters convinced me I did not need one with this set up since the 2004's have 10" 250watt powered subbs in each! I don't have a sub and my house is shaking!!

whhat's your front-end???

 

[Frank joe]

what do you mean my front end?

Check out the Totem Dreamcatcher. They sound great and are well built. If you could come to Canada, you could get a great deal.

what do you mean my front end?

Your front end is the component chain leading to the speakers (or infront of them)

What DVD or CD player, what Receiver or Pre/Pro-AMP combo are you planning to "light the speakers up" with.

This helps some make suggestions regarding the Speakers.

For example if you only had 45wpc youmight want to consider a higher efficeincy speaker.

i have a pioneer elite 39tx its rated at 120 by 5 and a poineer elite 100 by 100 rear amp for 7.1 surround does this help???

 

[John A. Casler]

Frank,

With that rig, I would suggest the VMPS (TowerIIs front and rear with a QSO626 center) That would be absolutely SICK! (old expression for GREAT!)

Hard for me to imagine anything coming close value to performance wise in any category, except maybe looks (subjective)

MAINS- VMPS Tower IIs
Center - QSO626
REARS -VMPS Tower IIs

Rear Woofers run with phase reversed (antiphase) to provide push pull.

Eight 12" woofs in this system will blast 22Hz all day long with that receiver.

No Sub needed

Yes, Polk LSi-15 towers, LSi-C center, and LSi-FX switchable bipole/dipole. Should be under your price shipped and rock the house.
