Within the next few months, I'll finally be able to put together a 2.0 setup to use with my TV. I still haven't decided what will drive the speakers, but I'm toying with the ideas of either getting a decent Onkyo receiver from Amazon or getting an inexpensive integrated amp (NAD, Cambridge 640, Baby Sophia etc...) from A'Gon.
I have been looking at some speakers, but have no clue which models sound good/bad and which ones sound better with solid state or tube amps. Basically, this is my first dip into the speaker pool, if you couldn't tell
I'm currently looking at the:
Paradigm Titans: I have and older set of Atoms that sound nice, but I'll be using them with my PC along with a T-Amp.
Axiom M2 v2: The M3 v2's are slightly above my budget, but if they are really worth it then I'll considder them.
Onix X-LS: Only $200, plus I can get some nice stands for $150 and hopefully save on shipping.
I'm also started looking at the offerings from Mission, but then I got a headache once I realized how many bookshelves they make. They look pretty sweet though, and I'd like to learn more about them.
Also, now that I've thought about it some more, the chances of me getting a solid state integrated amp are pretty good. I don't think I want to mess around with tube rolling another amp, especially since tubes = more money
My cables won't be anything special either, I'll just grab some IC's and speaker cables from Signalcable. Nothin' special...
Thanks for the help in advance
