Puzzle for the pros
|
New member Username: WoosaPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | I'm new to the prosumer class audio, and I just got a Denon 3805. I would like to know which brand and set of speaker should be best (heard some rummors that Paradigm doesn't sound too good with Denon) for the Denon receiver within $1500 budget. I'm looking for something that would sound good both with movie and music listening. Thanks in advance for your comments. |

Paradigm's Monitor series is a good match. The PSB Image series as Joseph has pointed out would be a good match as well. Frankly there are a lot of good budget speakers that work well with your receiver. |

CoolieBoy Unregistered guest | Hi All... I have one question, I am hooking up my polk Rti4's into my HK-AVR 635, and i am using a 5.1 setup. My question is... what input does the speaker go into, the R&L surround, or R&L surround back. The surround speakers will be behind the listener. Does it matter where it goes into?? |

Gold Member Username: Paul_ohstbucksPost Number: 1892 Registered: Jan-05 | LOL I agree with Zorro. Unless you want a 'small' sounding HT system, you should avoid buying small halfpint speakers because thats exactly what you'll get by doing so. |
