I urgently need to replace my 5.1 speakers as my subwoofer just died and the rest of my HT speakers suck anyway.
Here is my deal: I have a Denon AVR-2800. My HT room (aka bedroom) is quite small (NYC apartment). In my living room I have a pair of Celestion 9 speakers hooked up to my old stereo for music listening purposes. I am EXTREMELY happy with the way my Celestions sound and would love a similar experience for my home theater. Also, ideally I would like to get rid of the stereo and play music for the living room through the Denon, which would mean hooking up the Celestions in the living room to be the “B” (Left/Right) speakers and telling the Denon that I have “large” speakers so the bass doesn’t just go the subwoofer but through the speakers themselves. (There is no separate small/large setting for the A/B speakers unfortunately.)
I would like something really good that would last me far into the future and would sound just as good when I move into a bigger space “some day”. I have a great deal of brand loyalty toward Celestion, but they seem to be very hard to find. So I am open to any brand and any and all advice. From a music stand point I listen to Classical, Jazz and Rock, but I find that if speakers sound good with Classical and Jazz, they will do just fine with everything else…
Thank you for your help!
