Unregistered guest | hi im looking for surround sound speakers that will sound good for movies and music. as most surround speakers sound good with movies but suck with music. im looking for somthing that can give me the best of both worlds as both are important to me.. front mains must be full towers. and the rest is fair game. here are some of my picks.. so you can get in idea of my style and sound preference. so you can help me better. Fluance Surround Sound Home Theater 5 Speaker System AV-HTB Fluance SX-HTB+ 5 Speaker Surround Sound http://www.fluance.com/fluan5speaks.html http://www.fluance.com/fluanceavhtb.html INFINITY PRIMUS was my first choice but then when I heard them they sucked. but thats what i want my setup to look like !http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_10_4/infinity-primus-speakers-10-2003.html Polk Audio Monitor 70 the whole series they were the closest to what i wanted in sound. Paradigm Monitor 11 series. very very, nice. anyway you now got and idea now. so please help me pick some nice speakers best bang for the buck they must sound nice. thank you. |

Bronze Member Username: PbdrPost Number: 90 Registered: Apr-05 | I have an Onkyo Receiver (SR502) and use Mirage OMNI 60's as fronts and I really like the way these speakers sound with my receiver. I do about 5?50 movies and music and they handle both well (in my opnion of course). Mirage makes a line of satellite speakers that make excellent surrounds (OMNI sat series) and the website has several suggested speakers packages. Some built exclusively off of the satellites and others with book shelves and/or floorstanders built in. The OMNI series speakers have a different configuration of the drivers that make them excellent for immersing yourself in what you hear. http://www.miragespeakers.com/ |

drama Unregistered guest | ok guys it boils down to this i heard the polk monitor 70 series the surround package for $1,679.72 freq-30hz-25hz 90db 275watts ea. specs are for the front main.this set was on display at circut city with the amp i have now Onkyo-TX-SR702. and man they sound sick ! and the second choice is the paradigm monitor 11 series front: monitor 11 /center: cc-370 rears: adp-370 powered sub: pw-2200 price for whole set $3136 polks were good for the price. best bang for the buck so far i cant find anything close to that model for that price period. second the paradigm almost identical as polk but with a price of 3,136 ouch! out of my budget but i would buy them in a heart beat much cleaner and less brightness on the highs. now my final qustion is should i get the polk or save and buy the paradigm one peace at a time ? |
