Found the receiver, now on to the speakers...


I recently found the HK 3480 stereo receiver to be the thing I'm looking for. It's 100 watts each channel, 8 ohms, and it got some good ratings. I was wondering what speakers would you recommend in terms of compatability? I know there's a max continuous as well as peak wattage on speakers, so what would compliment this reciever well enough, yet stay within a budget range of around 300 dollars or less? I'm a college student, so there's not a whole lot of money to spend. Thanks a lot for the help.

I'd have to concur w/ the suggestions of NHT or Wharfedale speakers... I'm not overly familiar w/ the SB3's, but i do know they sound 'bigger' and have deeper bass than their size implies. They also sound 'full-bodied', which really would work well w/ HK products.

A friend of mine owned an HK surround receiver and wharfedale speakers. That combo was not the last word in resolution by any stretch, but it was a smooth and powerful sounding combo.
