at this point you have to go to two or three other HiFi stores and listen.
if you ask people online and start talking to Us in the peanut gallery you won’t be successful since many “experts” here are not experts or will recommend things you like. The best dealer I found is GTT Audio.
Give them a call with some real budgets with some real money.
most speakers under $10,000 aren’t made very well. There is just not enough budget in something that costs 500-1000 to make to really sound good. And if they cost 500-1000 to make they are $2500-5000 retail price. If you want to go cheap get magnepan .7 and buy real subs from REL and get S510’s! The T5-T9 rel’s are made in china and for home theater more than 2 channel.
