I'm a Best Buy employee, and I am looking to replace my M-Audio BX8-D2. They're good but not my tastes. I want more bass, relaxed treble and a warmer mid range.
The Sony SSCS5 are quite a good deal with my discount, but I'm not sure they'll fulfill my tastes, especially the bass response. I could get a sub to help with these though. The Definitive Technology SM55 also show promise, but are a bit more expensive. The passive radiator is interesting and might allow for sufficient bass response, but I'd like some opinions about the mid range and treble. I'd also like something that isn't super directional.
I would also need an amp or a receiver to power the speakers. I can get the Yamaha R-S201BL for a pretty good price. It's 100W per channel peak at 8ohms, and could power either of the pairs I mentioned above. Any opinions?
Another option would be to get something like the Polk T15 and add a subwoofer to the mix. Anything that is carried on bestbuy.com (under the best buy items tab) is fair game. If I could stay under 500-600 for the current sell price that would be great. I'm not allowed to divulge the discount but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
