Bronze Member Username: SvendehotKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 18 Registered: Feb-05 | I was wondering which set of floor standing fronts would go well with my set-up. My set-up currently consists of a H/K 430 reciever, athena as-c1 (center) and athena MS satelittes for the fronts and rears (currently a 5.1 set-up). I'm looking for a pair of floor standing speakers to replace the MS but I really want a fluid front soundstage and equal voice. I know I should go with the athena as-f1.2, but these are hard to find at a value price. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben |

Bronze Member Username: SvendehotKalamazoo, MI USA Post Number: 20 Registered: Feb-05 | Everyone, thank you very much for your insight. Your advice is greatly appreciated! I believe that my best bet is to go with the Athena AS-F2.2 series. Since the F2.2's are voice matched, they will bring uniformity to my system . Again I thank all you you guys! Ben |
