Hey guys, I'm trying to get into high-end speakers but I'm weary of companies that really aren't high-fidelity sound quality and charge a lot for their speakers when you can get a lot more for less. People always briefly mention these companies, but I have not really got specifics. BOSE is obvious, but what else? Can anyone help me find out which companies to avoid and which ones to seriously consider (looking for speakers in the $500-$1000 range, willingly to buy used). For example, Bowers & Wilkins is supposed to be a legitimate, right? BUT, apparently not Bang & Olufsen (I've read they are more fashion and design for expensive costs, and then finally sound at the end)? What about general trends in sound quality of speakers? For example, Paradigm speakers having a brighter or leaner sound? Lastly, what's a good forum where I can find out more about speakers (A LEGITIMATE hifi stereo forum; I've seen some that are more like commercial hifi stereo forums; I'm looking for a place full of knowledgeable people that have heard many speakers from many companies (not just simple stuff like Klipsch, etc, but more exotic and not mainstream Best Buy companies if you know what I mean).
Thanks!
Thanks!
