New member Username: SguirePost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I've been trying out some speakers lately and am trying to decide between Def Tech SM350s and comparable from Paradigm (I think they are monitor series). What I KNOW I don't like is smaller speakers like mirage, and I don't have room and budget for towers. The Def Techs really sounded nice to me. Anything else I should be considering? This will be for a home theater setup. Probably 90% movies/TV/xbox; 10% music. The room is pretty big, a carpeted L shaped room about 18x25, though the main TV watching area is smaller. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V757. |

You might want to throw the Athena AS-B2.2 into the mix here too. I have five Athena (same company as Mirage, Energy) speakers and I love the sound of them. You will be stunned how much ultra-clear output the 2.2's can produce. For the money, nobody currently beats Athena IMO. Read up on them. |
