New member Username: HeymaynardPost Number: 6 Registered: Jul-06 | I am leaning toward the HTR-5960BL I like the Ipod option. I am only going to be using 5.1 but I like the idea of using the two extra channels for my deck and some out door speakers. Thanks for the input. |

Bronze Member Username: PolksavagePost Number: 68 Registered: Jun-06 | I'm loving this system http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=1018 I think if I ever sell my system I will upgrade to it |

These speakers are very efficient and can be driven by a majority of receivers on the market. They should work well with Yamaha, but you really need to listen to them first as paring them with that particular Yamaha model will produce a very "in your face" kind of sound. It is not for everybody. What else have you listened to? |

New member Username: HeymaynardPost Number: 9 Registered: Jul-06 | For some reason I always liked the Horn tweeter and the more open and dynamic sound of the Klipsch ( Basically a lot of sound for a smaller speaker) as for speakers I have listen to or looked at Here we go. Listen Two. Energy Paradigm Def Technology Boston Vienna Acoustics Polk Bose ( yea yea tried to give them all a fare shot as much as I hate them ) JBL Have considered but do not have a local dealer to listen to. Aperion Audio Orb Audio AVI123 Axiom Audio Ascend Acoustics Wild card Cambridge Sound works ( have a dealer but have not been able to make the trip ) Specifically http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=ht_systemsrec%26i tem%3Dk1pk720zz |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 8881 Registered: Dec-03 | That is quite an extensive list...if you still have Klipsch in your heart, then you have established a preference for the sound of Klipsch and horns. You should be very happy with those. I think the only thing that will come close will be the Axioms. I am not a big fan of Cambridge. |

Bronze Member Username: HeymaynardPost Number: 11 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea I like the Axioms idea but I can get Klipsch in my town and I can listen to them so they kind of trump the Axioms As for Cambridge it's more just being curios if anything else form what I have seen and read they took a pretty big step up in quality the last couple of years. I know they had or still have a bad rap like Bose but it looks like they are at least trying to go in the right direction  |

Bronze Member Username: HeymaynardPost Number: 15 Registered: Jul-06 | I went ahead and dove in and bought Klipsch and Yamaha. I got the fallowing system and misc cables and wire for $2300. I was also able to get better surrounds and sub on close out. Think I did pretty good wanted to stay close to $2000. Let you all know how it sound when I hook it up sure it will kick BUTT.
