i like to know which type of speakers will be a good match for my onkyo amp. main use for HT and music. my amp is the about 100watts per channel. my buget is about 2000 dollars. thanks
i have the bose 901 but i like a speaker system that can match well with my amp. im not sure if i correctly described the onkyo but i read it some where over the web. i like to use this system for movies mainly and some for music. thanks Jan
i need speakers that will dont have the eq. so that i can use the dts and dolby digital via coxial. these two decoders can be used through the digital cable. thats the problem. the bose is ok for classical music. i have connected the bose and the onkyo with the escosse cs 2.3. dont like the sound it sounds a little harsh. i was thinking about trying QED from some store. i will use the bose for music and need a 5.1 system that will mainly be used for HT and for dvd concerts. i like to enjoy a system that does not give me a headache while watching movies. thankyou
Hey. First off I actually used to like those Bose 901s a long time ago in a land far away for 2 channel music. If you have some extra change, Naim makes a great new 5 channel package that I auditioned at CES in January. Made a lot of other 5 channel set ups sound bad. I believe the speakers are all 6 ohms, but your Onkyo might drive them. I wouldnt take the sub that came with it though. Too much money for too little performance.
I also like highland audios 5 channel speaker set ups. They have a Canadien distributor but none in the US. Again, I wouldnt get a sub from them however.
Lastly, I still think AScend makes a nice 5 channel package for the money, though others here have described them as dull and lifeless. The Onkyo will definetly drive them
Hi! I'm thinking to buy new speakers to my system: Nad 352 + Cambridge Audio Azur 640C (v2). KEF iQ7 is the right ones? Can anybody help me with some advices. Thanks everyone for the great posts i read in this forum
You should start a new thread Rui but Kef speakers do gel well with NAD amplification. So do a whole host of others though so I'd recommend you do some auditioning! I used to have the older KEF Q7 a few moons ago and they worked well with my old NAD C160/C270.
I have a Onkyo stereo amp that I love. I have some crappy speakers w/ big cones and JBL E-50's that have really clear highs and mids. I don't know if JBL is worth the price, but I'm pretty happy with what I have. The north-ridge series has center's towers, and satellites, and they are decently cheap, but I know there are better speakers out there and I'm not sure if there are better to be had for the same price. Head out to a tweeter or finer audio store and listen to stuff on a similar amp. Check out the JBL's see what you think.
