Looking for a good small speaker
|
New member Username: MdelatorreMexico Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-05 | Hi, I have a Marantz SR-7500 receiver and only have a pair of B&W 602 S3 speakers. I will like to buy a pair of good small speakers that I can place in my back wall. I like the size of the Bose Acoustimass series, but for what I have read on the forum not many people like them very much. Can you please suggest me a speaker of similar size that will work nicely with my receiver. Thanks, Manuel. I have |

FloridaSun Unregistered guest | www.orbaudio.com is good advice...great sound, compact speakers and a direct business model that keep prices low. Gallo is good, too, but you pay a lot in markups that you don't w/ the direct guys. |

That being the case, I'd suggest the DM600 S3 which is wall mountable: otherwise if just for movies timbre matching is not so important which leaves you other options. |

Silver Member Username: ChitownPost Number: 513 Registered: Apr-05 | yes the MA R90's are quite beautiful and they do sound great. However I found them to be much more expensive and pretty much the same sound quality than a pair of Aperion's Intimus 422-LR that I bought instead at about 1/2 the price. |

Silver Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 290 Registered: Oct-04 | Since I have not seen or heard the Aperions, I probably shouldn't comment, but from the pictures I've seeen of the 422LRs, it would seem the build quality is not quite on-par with the MAs. The MA Radius series are maybe the best I've seen, so it's not a fair fight IMHO. The R45s are less expensive than the R90s, and more importantly for the purposes of this thread, smaller. |
