I have zeroed on Yamaha RX V 357 AV receiver and getting stuck on the speakers I should go for. I have heard Sonodyne Sonus 2605 and Wharfadale Xanus 4000.These both are more or less in the same price range. I am confused on the compatiblity.Pls give your opinion. |

(the 1st one on the black bar at the top of the page.) some other "bang for the buck" brands you might want to look into are: value speaker brands: canadian axiom paradigm psb energy mirage .......................................... aperion NHT epos wharfdale infinity polk boston acoustics cambridge sound works magnepan ascend definative technology pinnacle specific models & reviews: Axiom Audio Millennia M40Ti $275 floorstander http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/axiom_millenniam40ti.htm Paradigm Esprit v.3 $400 floor stander RAVE http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/paradigm_esprit_v3.htm Pinnacle Classic Gold Reference $900 list wins a shootout vs. B&W, Monitor Audio & Paradigm http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/loudspeakers/faceoff2.php Wharfdale Diamond 9.6 $800 tower gets a rave http://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter/153/wharfedale.html and stereophile really liked the $320 epos els-3 and rated it over speakers 3 times the price. personally, i'm scrapping my onkyo/NHT superzero system for a panasonic (class-d)/magnepan system. maggies are great bargains, but require amps with at least 100wpc and that can handle 4 ohms without blowing up. check this review out: http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/magnepan_mmg.htm if this sounds interesting, then you'll need either a panasonic sa-xr series reciever or NAD which uses high current designs. a maggie/panny synergy review http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-7922.html |

atin Unregistered guest | Surprisingly and astonishingly our very own 'Sonodyne' has been crafting some superb speakers and amplifiers these days. Their latest 'Sonus 2605' series is a stunning piece of craftsmanship and is also a marvel to behold. It rivals JBL, Wharfdale and dare I say even beats it and is available for half the price of their ranges in similar categories. I purchased the exquisite Sonodyne 'Sonus' 2605 speakers (pine wood finish) 6 months ago and have been on cloud 9 ever since. The separation of sound is mind-boggling. The wonderful surprise is that the 'sonus' 3 way speakers ( with gold plated binding terminals) will not cost you the earth. Rs 22,000. |
