sat-sub idea is good if you do not already own a sub. if you are into home theatre you should have one tho.... otherwise may i suggest the meadowlark kestrals. co. is defunct but i believe there is an old pair of brand new 'hot rod' kestrals for sale on a-gon or find the newer kestral 2's. retailed for @$2K new. i own a pair and they are as natural a speaker as you will find in midrange and have strong tight bass but in a big space you need sub for efx. great chance to get good deals on a gorgeous speaker. yes ... i own the kestral 2's i admit.
recommendation for best $1500 speakers?
I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of floorstanding speakers < $1,500 for both. They would be used for both home theater and analog/digital music. I have more entry level boston acoustic floor standing speakers now, which I like, but I think can be improved. Part of the challenge is the room is 16 feet tall, so they sound a bit thin. I'm using a Yamaha RXV-2500 receiver at 140wpc, which should be plenty of power. I heard some JBL's at a local tweeter store through the same amp, and they sounded much fuller than the BA's I have now (they were twice the size). Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks!
