Go to a dealer or a show and hear the different type of speakers. Try to figure out the sound you like. It's better to spend some time up front with the research than buying something on a recommendation and then finding out it is not that good.Big +1 on this. You have to figure out what you like and what's important to you before buying anything. $5k is plenty to build a great-sounding system as long as you use your own ears to make the decisions.
Newbie looking for speakers
Hello I'm new to this site. I just picked up a Sansui 5700 receiver and a pair of Pioneer HPM 60's. I'm having fun with the retro system. I'm interested in serious speakers with a budget around 3000.00. Any helpful information about speakers, pre amp, etc would be absolutely amazing. Thank you -Joe

I’ve got a pair of HPM-100s sitting in my basement. Great speakers for their day. But these are serious audiophile speakers that will amaze you. Stick a crowbar in your wallet and just buy them. Get a nice integrated amp like a Hegel H160 used, and you’ll be in sonic heaven. Uh, yeah you’ll need stands. Pick some sand-fillable models from Monoprice and you’ll be good. Talk to @grannyring here about cables to start and he'll get you in the game for cheap. https://tmraudio.com/speakers/bookshelf-monitors/joseph-audio-pulsar-bookshelf-speakers-gloss-black-... |
