Howdy all. I have a unique problem! I have started a couple of other threads thinking there were some settings for my VSX-821 receiver, but I have just come to the conclusion that my 2-18" subs drown out my little polk monitors. No matter what setting I choose, in really bassy scenes, you can't hear words, talking, music, etc, just the explosions and rumble (which is awesome by the way)
As with everyone else, I am budget restricted. I don't really have a set budget, but $2,000 or $3,000 is just not going to be an option. Surely there are some quality speakers for more like $1,000 or $1500 tops if I can build it over time.
I also would like for it to be in a wood texture if at all possible. The black look is ok...but I just prefer a cherry or oak or something a little more matching my tastes. I also don't really want to be back here trying to upgrade again in 6 months because it wasn't that much of an improvement. If I have to piece the system together due to budget I'm fine with that.
I have been following the Klipsch a little bit, I like the look of the Klipsch WF 35 front corners, WC 24 Center, and WB 14 surrounds Newegg has them on sale frequently and I think could all be had for around $1000, and in expresso. I also wouldn't rule out the RF series if they are tht much of an upgrade, but it appears they are only in ash black. I'm also open to other models, I know someone on here always pushes the Bic audio speakers, and like I said don't necessarily care what the brand name is, just want something to match big subs and produce good audio, and for some reason I keep thinking I need a big horn loaded tweeter because these little 1" dome tweeters in the polks are absolutely not cutting it. I know I'm all over the place, but just looking for some advice. Thanks
