I am actually looking for speakers AND an amp together at around $1000 I would like it to be closer to about $800-$900 but we'll see what turns up.

Though, I'll give you some starter points: Do not listen to crossoverless speakers like Abbys Do not listen to bright speakers like Klipsch speakers Do not listen to polite speakers like B&Ws Those house sounds will be stuff that will directly go against what your wants are. You want speakers that are pure, accurate, clear, and exciting, it seems. |

New: Buggtussel Mirac Onix RS550 Axiom M50ti Used: Onix RS750 Axiom M60ti Buggtussel Somu I am really leaning towards the RS550 or the Buggtussel. I really have no idea though. Could anyone give me somefeedback on these speaker or any speakers in the <$1000 dollar range. Also I need to find an amp to power what ever speakers I have. My dad sadi to look at some used Bryston, Dadvid Hafler, or possibly audire amps on ebay. Give me some feedback. I want to know about any speaker or amp that would work for me. Thanks. |

The only whay dude is going to find what speakers he likes is to go out and listen to a variety of speakers. Cain and Abby, Klipsch, and B&W all make fine speakers. They certainly arent my cup 'o tea but they might be someone elses and who am I to say that their taste sucks? |
Originally Posted by Wodgy I'm not entirely sure why Aman said avoid Klipsch speakers though. They certainly have a bit of a Grado/DT770 sound. The best advice though, as always, is to audition first before buying, even if you have to travel for four hours in each direction to get to the nearest hifi store. You'll be much happier this way. If you can get an in-home audition, so you can see how the speaker "lights up" and interacts with your room, that's even better. |
