What I am asking is, what is the better bang for the buck at a $200 price point? I have a very decent receiver. Boston Acoustics AVR7200. It was a $4000+ receiver in 2005 and does most current dolby headphone modes. I have some basic TSC (The Speaker Company) speakers. Their entry models. Not bad but nowhere near capable of what the receiver can do. I do have their nice little 10" sub. It is actually very good. Not the base model. Goes down to 28HZ strongly. I also have a decent pair of their headphones. They sound somewhat like a Beyer 880 with Grado punch? Not as resolving as the 880 though. Soundstage lacks the air of the 880.
So would you get a pair of decent speakers or headphones? This is for nearfield use only. About 2ft away and 28" apart with tweets at ear level. 5 ft from the wall.
I want to spend around $200 btw. Not working atm so money is tight but not terribly so.
