| Emotiva XPR-5 power amp? If your speakers are very efficient, there is NO way that an XPR-5 is called for. You could *easily* use Emotiva's UPA-500 amp which provide 80 honest watts/ch. And you'd only be spending $359 for it. No need to overpay for an amp, unless you simp... | |
| Speakers for low power SET, nearfield, low volume? Based upon your preferred listening levels, fairly low, you really do not need a super-efficient speaker. Anything with 88+ db sensitivity should work quite well. You might want to consider the Gallo Stradas being sold here on Agon, $499 each bran... | |
| need advice Look at the Tekton Mini-Lores ($649/pr.), they will rock with that Onkyo. They are very good floor-standing speakers...http://www.tektondesign.com/lore-m.html-RW- | |
| Thinking of Upgrading Speakers IMHO, always start with the speakers you like and build around them...-RW- | |

"If windows are part of the problem Marigo Tuning dots really do work and are about the size of a 50 cent piece - one per small window, 2-4 on large windows"Gimme a break.

| Gallo 3.1s The original Mustang was a friggin' Falcon, for Pete's sake! And it was originally marketed as a "secretary's" car. Mustangs didn't get really good until 1968 thru 1970. After that, they started getting too big and heavy. Let's not even discuss th... | |
| Genesis 501s The center channel generally doesn't have much bass info. So you should look to replicate the mid and tweeter to obtain the best voice matching...-RW- | |
| one last show No doubt about it, cuz I missed him before he died, Jimi Hendrix...-RW- | |
| Gallo 3.1s Yes, it will work fine. You do need a crossover, but the Emo amp will power the 2nd voice coils quite well...And you want to run 200 watts to each speaker...-RW- | |
