Hey guys, I'd love some input on my narrowed field of
speaker choices. They will be used 60/40 for movies/music.
Room is 22X25 dedicated home theatre/music room. Budget is
not really an issue as long as I feel good about what I
get for the buck. I had initially decide to go with aerial
acoustics 7b with matching surrounds, but I am having
second thoughts about the price. I also like the monitor
silver series 9i's, and the paradigm reference studio/100's.
I listened to B&W,Tannoy,jmLabs,linn,Martin logans,Infinity,
Energy,Klipsch,Atlantic technology, and a few others.
The B&W CDM NT's had good sound
but the bass seemed to overpower the sound. It may have
been the set-up. Martin logans are cool but I've heard
some negatives about electrostatics.
Anyway, what do you think?
Aerial 7b's
Paradigm reference studio/100's
Monitor silver 9i's.
I will also purchase a matching center channel and surrounds
from the same maker. Any others I should consider?? I would
like to stay as far under $10K as possible and still have
a great set up that I feel like I got my moneys worth. I
Also am not sure what it will take to drive all these, It
seems some are very power hungry.
Jon.
