I am going to purchase a Denon 4310 to use as the hub of my 7.1 HT setup. My listening habits are 60/40 for movies/music. I have heard that some speakers while great at movies are not that great for music. I would like to find speakers that can do both reasonably well within a 2k-3k price range ( I woudnt mind cheaper as long as quality of sound is not tainted ). Thank you in advance for all your speaker suggestions

No. Sorry ,I should have included that fact earlier.

Paradigm Monitor or Special edition Line

Monitor Audio Silver RX line


I'd also say do 5.1 now you'll be happy and get better stuff get the rear surrounds later. That is spend 2-3k on 5 speakers not 7.


I just orders RXs myself.


Also consder Aperion, Axiom and other ID companies. But I didn't audition them but they seem to be popular.

Might want to look at Ascend acoustics something like the Sierra, or even the CMT-340

I would prefer bok shelf/surround speakers. They're less obtrusive.

Paradigm Studio 20's

Paradigm CC-490

Paradigm SE1 x 4


That would be a killer 7.1 setup. You would most likely get that for $3K or less from a dealer. If you want real surrounds, go with the ADP-590's, although the SE1's will work great and are cheaper.


Cheaper setup would be to go with the SE1's all around and the SE center. That would run you about $2K

Hello,

PSB's Image Series are really nice Speakers and are available with a nice discount from both Saturday Audio and DMC-Electronics.


For instance, the Image T45 Floorstanding Speaker is available for 479 (749 MSRP) at DMC-Electronics. These are cosmetic B-Stocks which means they might have a small blemish on the cabinet. They also sell the matching Center Channel and Surround Speakers.

Here is a Professional Review of the T45: http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/psb_image_t45.htm


PSB really makes great Speakers and Paul Barton is a super talented Speaker Designer. Another great Canadian Company.

Cheers,

AD
