Um, I can't really help as I don't know much about the speakers, but I wonder why pro audio speakers? |

Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 916 Registered: Jun-07 | Andrew- do u plan on doing some DJ jobs? These speakers will all go loud, and fill a large area with noise, but thats about it. Do u want something for your home? |

New member Username: Ajstone88Post Number: 3 Registered: Dec-07 | eh they just seemed cheap and good i really dont kno anything about home audio as this is my first system being put together. which is why im lookin for advice  i would get a home theater but i really dont watch many movies and didnt know how well the set up would work for my type of music. i was thinkin about getting the mtx 12's tho i listened to them at abc warehouse and they sounded pretty decent do you guys figure those would be the best for under 300?} |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11915 Registered: May-04 | . Sounds like you want the MTX 12's. So why do you need our permission? It's your cash. If we tell you not to, will you anyway? |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11916 Registered: May-04 | . Look at all those tweeters on the Gem Stone TR 150's. They must sound good. And they're cheap. http://www.eliminatorlightingdirect.com/Speakers_s/45.htm?gclid=CNC9lYvd0ZACFQ2a OAodVgSkXQ |

Silver Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 168 Registered: Aug-06 | Andrew, It's best you check out a few stores and listen to a few speakers yourself. Only you know what you would like when you hear it. You'll find a few choices under $300. They will sound different, bring your music. |

Silver Member Username: CcdoggyPost Number: 170 Registered: Jul-06 | Pro audio is not the way to go for a theater/music. It may seem like that but they are crap. |
|
New member Username: Ajstone88Post Number: 4 Registered: Dec-07 | i ended up gettin the 12's acoustic audio's and a davinci 1200watt reciever for under 300 so we will see how it all sounds when it gets here |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyPost Number: 1655 Registered: Oct-04 | The very first speakers I ever bought for myself back in the early 80's were a pair of giant Gemini three-ways; they were BIG, played loud, sounded like crap. |

Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2369 Registered: May-05 | Hopefully you paid the guy in the white van or the new version of them on eBay less than $50. They're one of the White Van Speaker companies. Do a google search of "The White Van Speaker Scam" if you haven't heard of it. They're not just hitting the road in vans anymore. Next time you buy something, do a little research first. There is a legit DaVinci company, but they only make turntables and needles. |

Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2370 Registered: May-05 | The "Podium" and "Acoustic" speakers are a scam too. Same garbage. If you haven't gotten them yet, and/or can return them, send them back. Speaking from personal experience, they're awful. |

New member Username: Ajstone88Post Number: 5 Registered: Dec-07 | i didnt get the reciver yet so good looking on that. i was going to wait and see how the speakers sound on my current reciever before spending anymore money. and the speakers were 170 and i can return them but it would cost me probally 60 to do so i bought them based on thier reviews from other buyers who got the speakers but thats not saying a whole lot. anyways i will have them in a week and im buyin the mtx 12s also goin to play them next to eachother and see which one i like lol |

Silver Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 175 Registered: Aug-06 | wouldn't it be cheaper to demo speakers in a store? |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11945 Registered: May-04 | . Look at all those tweeters on the Gem Stone TR 150's. Wowsers!!! . |

New member Username: Ajstone88Post Number: 6 Registered: Dec-07 | if i had any store in my area besides abc warehouse that sold the type of speaker i was lookin for yeah but my towns crap lol and they had a very limited selection of maybe 4 different ones that were close to the same type. |
