Hello,
I have been scouring the forums for different reviews and recommendations and figured I would just ask for what I am trying to find. The trouble I am running into is there is just a ton of great reviews and recommendations to pull from. I figured I would ask all you for a personalized recommendation.
The type of system I want is going to be 85% for Movies/TV. But for musical taste it would primarily be Hard Rock/Metal, hints of jazz, r&b, and the occasional hip hop. I like a well balanced speaker with very clear highs and *sometimes* big-boomy lows.
I currently have a HK AVR-247. Not the greatest as far as power goes so I have been keeping that in mind. My living room is roughly 25x15 with vaulted ceilings.
I want to go with an ID (but am slightly open to b&m stores) and want to spend Around $1,000 with a MAXIMUM of 2,000 if I can really justify an extra 1000 will get me that value.
I have been looking at many systems from many vendors, I am not going to list all of the models but I am looking for:
Floorstading Mains
Bi/Dipolar surrounds
Center and Sub.
There are many vendors that can suit this pricing:
AV123 X-series
Axiom Epic 50's
Aperion's (but that is looking like a budget buster)
Athena Audition series
Swan Diva's
Newly found
BIC Acoustech's
The Speaker Company's new T-series floorstanders, but I have looked high and low and found nothing describing their sound.
SO, I am looking for all the help I can get before I actually purchase one, then find out I should have gotten the other one!
