I don’t know what to call it, other than an obsession. Anyway, I finally bought the Def Tech SM350’s after months of research. I really like there compact size and clarity. However, I don’t like there cost. I still have one week where I can return them no questions asked. I am running them without the center channel, I was waiting for my Def Tech dealers speaker sale coming up in June to buy the center and better sub.
Here’s my dilemma. Circuit City is running the Polk RT25I’s for $200 a pair (very similar size to the SM350). The Def Techs were on sale for $460. CC also has the CS245I center for $200. That means I could get the front sound stage for less than the cost of the Def Techs. I am using my 8” Aiwa sub and surrounds so I will upgrade those later. I actually ordered the HTD Level 1’s to try as surrounds, they will be here today. Yes, I am being cheap. A 6 and a 9 year old to put through college and the 9 year old says she wants to be a doctor. J.
My question: Should I even bother going to listen to the Polk’s this weekend, or should I just be happy with what I have? It certainly will be cheaper ($500-$800) in the long run to get the Polks.
