BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Once again I want to mention the Von schweikert dB99's.They have a powered system for the 10" drivers that are designed to assist ones own amp and they are spec'd down to 20 Hz. They are 99dB efficient which helps with nice dynamics even at low vo... 
BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Look into the Von Schweikerts dB99. They are a high efficiency speaker which tend to work well at low volumes, they look pretty cool and they have built in subs to dial the bass up to your tastes. I have never heard them, but have read good things... 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
For those who say horns are not my cup of tea, I would like to bring up a few points. I live in So. California, where we have many great movie theaters. The sound to my ears in some of these theaters is impressive to say the least. When a movie ca... 
need more power ?
how about checking out the Rotel RB1080. It can be had for about $750 on this site. It puts out 200 watts at 8 ohms. According to a Stereophile review, with one channel being driven. It puts out 590 watts at 4ohms and 800 at 2ohms. That is alot of... 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
I say look at some older klipsch Heritage speakers like the Lascalas or cornwalls, or Chorus. These are all around 100db efficient and work great in a big room. I have the Klipsch Epics Cf3's. They are 100 dB efficient and they can crank with unco... 
Bach Here Beatles There X-Box, Too PUHLEEZE.
There are some amps with 12 channels of amplification. the brand name escapes me at the moment. That will take care or 6 pairs of speakers in 6 rooms or 1 speaker in 12 rooms. That will be fairly simple. Hook up a receiver to it of some kind, send... 
6moons review of FAB Audio Model 1 speaker
for those who say enjoy what you have and who cares what a reviewer says are definately right. But on the other hand, one might also consider that a person who buys a high dollar product, might hope for a decent return when he resells it. If that ... 
Absorption or diffusion????
You have a beautiful system. I love the look of those tylers. For a different take on the problem, I would suggest looking into getting a front projector for your room and have nothing in bewteen your mains. You mount a screen on the front wall an... 
raising subwoofer off floor by 20 inches
Just for fun, you could put the sub on a chair or a small table and see if you notice any difference in the bass. 
Favorite Center??
I use a Klipsch KLF C-7. It is the best center channel I have heard so far. It has two 8" drivers flanking a giant horn center with an efficiency of 99dB @ 1 watt. The thing weighs over 40 pounds. I always loved the big sound heard at the movies w... 
Short floorstanders?
check out the Monitor Audio silver series, maybe the S8 model. A very short floorstander. Goodguys has them on their sale tables right now. 
Does anyone like vintage speakers?
While I wouldn't call my 1994 Klipsch Epic CF3's vintage, they provide something my magnepans and audio physic tempos and most other speakers that I have had and heard can't touch, impact at all volumes. They play beautifully at low volumes with f...

No matter how great your speaker choice might be, if buying them burns up all your cash and puts you in a place where you can't buy anything else for a long time to come, then I think you should find another speaker that doesn't break the bank. Th... 
recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers
I vote for Klipsch Epic CF3 or 4. 100dB efficient and under $1000.00. A great speaker and a lot of fun to listen to. They do however, weigh in at over a hundred pounds each. If you go to the older Klipsch speakers they will also hold their value.
