| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space Tannoy PBM 6.5 with Limpet amp bolted right on the back of the speaker. Got a pair on e-bay for $230 USD and replaced the tweeters for $75 USD and 5 minutes of my time. My big system is B&W 801 matrix. The Tannoys don't play as loud or low but... | |
| Why not horns? They sound like a PA system. Go figger. | |
| B&W 801 Matrix vs 802D? Keep your eyes open. I just got a pair of 801 matrix II's for $1200. I've put them through their paces for three weeks now and they are totally functional. They were cheap because of missing grills and one of the woofer dust caps is dented in. You... | |

| Speaker upgrade help? Shadorne: My buddy the sound engineer/electronics wizards suggested some pro monitors just last night. So you're contention is I'm just smoking the coils a bit? That was my guess.Elevick: Dynaco spec'ed out Under distortion @ 235W each side. I don... | |
| Speaker upgrade help? Thanks for your suggestions. I love our old PSB Alphas(c.1992) Tannoys big$ but I enjoyed 12" monitors years ago in a studio. Sonus Faber or Totem I have never heard or even seen in person. Thiels I've heard would require a sub and were very brigh... | |
