| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I got lucky with my P3ESR's. In one of my last in-person visits to Echo Audio in Portland I walked in and saw them in the demo room, asked how much (I think they were $1025?), and immediately said I'll take them. I was lucky they hadn't put them... | |

| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I picked up my P3ESRs for about $1000. You can find them used under your budget.

But hey maybe in a small room like mine the amount of bass they pro... | |

| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching I'm not sure that I agree with the argument against using a tube amp in a home theater system. I have tube mono blocks for my home theater / two channel system. If I'm just watching the news or something on TV I don't even turn them on, I just lis... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching Honestly, you might get better responses somewhere like AVS forum. Many will say that the timbre of the speakers is important and that you should use the same brand. I have a mix of speakers and it works great for me. I use a preamp for 2-channel ... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching You're worrying about something that is a non-issue. I've used 102 dB sensitive speakers for home theater. | |
