Thank you Saki70 and Eldarado, that takes the Axioms of the list. I have never heard them.. so it would have been a shot in the dark anyway. But in the meantime I came up with PSB Image series (B15 or B25 and C40)... good reviews but then again, the question is how they respond to Sony receiver....
Has anyone comp. Epos and Axioms? Other suggestion
An older friend has asked me to help him upgrade his speakers. He has a 5 year old basic 100W Sony DD/DTS receiver, but uses it mostly to play LPs on a recent AudioTechnica turntable through his old RDI speakers. He is, however, interested in playing TV and DVD through this system too, where our current idea is to get a pair monitors or small floor standers, a matched center channel, and a sub.
I have so far come up with the ELS 3 Epos line or the Axiom M3ti/VP100 cominations, which would be complemented by a HSU sub. My question is which one (any other suggestions are welcome too), Epos or Axiom, would sound better GIVEN the crappy amplification? This is my greatest concern. There is an ad with a Triangle center and Zerius here on Audiogon that I would bid on in a heartbeat, but I fear those would be horrible (say bright!) with a basic receiver.
I might be able to persuade him to pick up a new Marantz entry level DTS receiver... (on sale localy), would that make any significant difference?
Comments, ideas?
Thanks.
