Hi all, so i'm looking for some better FL and FR speakers for my 7.1 setup. First let me explain my setup as its kind of odd but great for the space and what I had lying around to build it.
First for 2.1 Music: Source files are mostly FLAC.
PC with Jriver MC 19 output WASAPI from a Xonar Essence STX> STR-DH520>Athena AS-B1 with LFE to a Dayton Sub1200.
7.1 is done with: HDMI out from GTX 780>Sony STR-DH520>Athena AS-B1 with LFE to a Dayton Sub1200, satellites are comprised of logitech x-540 surrounds and a z506 center.
I tried the Pioneers SP-BS22-LR at first for a upgrade for the AS-B1 and I found them very lacking not enough fullness for me and they did not pair well with any movie I threw at them for DTS. They are smaller than the AS-B1's though so i'm not to surprised about that part (they did have better sound reproduction but to much bass in everything I tried and not very loud without distortion).
So my budget at the moment is $300 but I can go up if the need arises. I have looked into the Klipsch R-15M's they are sold locally at our bestbuy but it seems they are the only people who carry them and i'm wondering if they are a sku re-brand of another Klipsch reference model. They say they peak at 430W though and I don't think my current amp can handle that at only around 110W per channel.
Any recommendations are appreciated
