Hey gang, I've been going the headphone route for a while because I'm a college student with little cash available for speakers. Lately I've been interning(yay) and saved up some money. I'd like to spend at most $1.5k at preferably around $900-1000. Of course I'd be buying used from sites such as our very own buy/sell/trade as well as audiogon or other site you can recommend me.
Well down to business.. I really want a 2.0 or 2.1(if sub is really necessary) system with floor standing(for my own aesthetic needs) speakers for the above said budget. I will be using the speakers connected to an onkyo receiver(can't remember model# off the top of my head) to watch movies, play video games, and listen to music with. Mostly for music. I listen to mostly alternative rock and pop(including rap and today's rnb)So far from researching this forum, speakers that have caught my eyes are the rti a9's, paradigm studio 60s,vienna bach's and the efe t-36's are really intriguing. I'll upgrade the receiver or add an amp down the road, right now i want some killer speakers!!!
Also I have a weird shaped living room which I took quite a while to draw and show you guys lol. I have no clue where I should place the speakers in this layout(where the a and b are?). Any recommendations are welcome.
dimensions are 200inches by 160. the difference between the tv wall and the window wall are 24 inches, the tv wall is 96 inches and the window wall is 104.
Thanks again guys
