Bronze Member Username: RashPost Number: 16 Registered: May-08 | I have wired two walls in our being-built sunroom for speakers - one is the wall where the reciever (onkyo 8522)and eventual subwoofer will be. The other is the wall directly across the room. On both walls, the speakers will be about 8 ft high. On the first wall I have plenty of room to hang a decent size speaker - something with a 6.5 woofer or so. The opposite wall is mostly windows, so there is only a little room for speakers - cube speakers would be perfect; largest possible speakers would be maybe 5.25 woofer at most -anything larger starts to block the window, and will most likely cast a shadow. So, I would like some good sound separation and good bass. If I get something like Polk Atrium 55 for 1st wall, I get decent bass, but no separation, even with a subwoofer (sub will be on same side of room). Bose Acoustimass 3 or 5 would fit perfectly and provide the separation, but I've read some bad things about Bose and am concerned that they won't do well with moderate-to-high volume rock and roll. Thoughts? Recommendations on satellite/sub system other than Bose? Anything $300 or less? I should note - this is not home theater - music only, so only need 2 sats and a sub. |

Should be able to find them at Best Buy. |

CC had them discounted down from about ~$250 USD each to about ~$65 USD each. They come in white. A friend of mine has a modded pair of NAMs in near perfect condition that you could probably buy used at a good price too! |
