Bronze Member Username: Rossx1Nashville, AR United States Post Number: 25 Registered: Dec-07 | Hello, i am experienced in the car audio world, but clueless when it comes to home audio. I currently have a 7.1 reciever (100w. per channel). I am going to start by using the reciever in 2 channel mode. (Money is a little tight being in college and having to pay for gas etc.) I am looking for two speakers. I prefer a more bright sound with decent bass. Midrange isn't too important to me. My budget is up to 200.00. Any speaker suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Ross |

Silver Member Username: SerniterPiscataway, New Jersey USA Post Number: 212 Registered: Mar-06 | Chris, the Wharfedales are a good deal. However, from the OP's requirement of 'bright sound' and 'decent bass', I gather the Wharfedales may not be appropriate. He's probably looking for a more 'Klipsch' sound... my 0.02 |
