A friend of mine told me about this website today and from what I've gathered...bose is terrible and that's about it. If I was looking to spend $1000 what would you recommend? I'm looking for a pair of tower speakers (guess that's what they're called) and a decent receiver I imagine. I'm completely open to ideas. Preferably something I can get at a Circuit City/Best Buy... especially since everythings 1/2 off at CC. Thanks! |

Any way, to answer your questions, they sell alot of lower end things. IMO after hours apon hours of playing with the equipment one of the best set up's i could find was the Onkyo 706 with Polk TSI 300 for the front and the tsi 100 for the surrounds with the matching center. I found this to be a detailed warm system, good for acoustic guitar light rock that kind of thing. The subs they have their are junky. i didn't like the polk subs, the best one was the actually the little 8 inch guy from polk, quick bass The Boston horizon sub wasn't bad but it was huge and pretty ugly, I don't know if you care about ascetics, thats what I liked their, but other then that i would stay away from the element, klipsch, you could also if you wanted to put a denon with the system like the 789, it would lighten up the sound a little too this was also good with the polks |
