BOOKSHELFS! - ONE LAST TIME!

Bronze Member Username: TwochordcoolPost Number: 29 Registered: Jun-05 | OK, if it were your birthday and you knew that someone was going to buy you a pair of bookshelf speakers, costing between $300 and $450 a pair, but weren't sure what they would be, name the 3 specific speakers that you would wish for! Or in other words, if you just could not decide on just one, name 3 that you would love, OR could easily live with, if you had to flip a 3 sided coin for..or pull randomly out of a large hat! Again, eventually would be 3 pairs of these PLUS a subwoofer for a 6.1 setup! Name 3 can't-go-wrong-with-no-brainers!  |

Bronze Member Username: Jorge59Rio de JaneiroBrasil Post Number: 28 Registered: May-05 | Tim, I'd be happy enough with B&W DM 600 S3 (list $350/pair). To my taste, it's the most beautiful design (compact, nice looking) and very decent sound. However, I'm buying the ugly Ascend CBM-170 ($328/pr), claimed to be the best value in bookshelves (equivalent to higher B&W models). |

Silver Member Username: DonaldekellyWashington, DC Usa Post Number: 216 Registered: Jul-04 | yes, the ugly factor applies to the Ascends. I dont think they are ugly but they are not pretty and I haven't even attempted to ask the wife about putting it in the living room. Having 6 ascends in your living room? Are you married? Better check it out. |

Silver Member Username: DonaldekellyWashington, DC Usa Post Number: 218 Registered: Jul-04 | Timn8ter - your speakers seem to be really good - but this guy can't give them a listen first - so he is wanting speakers many have heard to pick from. What is your return policy if people don't like them, by the way? thanks |

Silver Member Username: Timn8terSeattle, WA USA Post Number: 243 Registered: Dec-03 | If after listening to them for 2 weeks you don't like them I'll refund your money. |

Bronze Member Username: TwochordcoolPost Number: 31 Registered: Jun-05 | Yeah the Totem Dreamcatcher system looks awfully impressive - I've seen their ads in a lot of American stereo and home theater magazines... but I shyed away from it because of the 4 Ohm impedence!?! Plus, I am REALLY curious to hear how 6 identical speakers plus a sub powered by a decent amp will sound! |
