What Speakers Do You Have? - Blu-ray Forum

Beta Man · 03-28-2008, 04:38 PM

Since there are so many people who look for recommendations, I just figured it would be a good idea to see what most people have, since I know, I for one tend to recommend speakers I have owned or listened to myself, and I keep seeing the same speakers recommended (not that they aren't warranted) So.... as far as MAIN SPEAKERS..... L/R/C for instance.... if your surrounds/sub doesn't match, no big deal.... I'm looking for Fronts/Center since that's the building blocks at least.... I'm sure I forgot some major brands a lot of people have, so put "other" and let us know.

AGAIN.... no need to clarify you have "X" in the front, and "Y" in the back... just vote based off of the fronts then.

Let's see how much influence this forum has had on our purchasing habits

If everyone Lists the "others" in BOLD in their post, I'll update/count them for the first post....

SO FAR.... one each... will update though...

Beta Man · 03-28-2008, 05:09 PM

I figure "Others" will probably run away with it..... but we've gotta have faith in the masses!!!!!

and yeah.... I've got B&W's, although I have a second 7.1 system in the basement, (hooked to a 19" color CRT with a built in VCR..... YEAH.... need another t.v. ya think?????)

I just got my new Klipsch Reference speakers a few weeks ago.
RC62 Center
RF82 Fronts
RB61 Surround
RW12d Sub.

QUITE an upgrade over my circa 2001 Synergy series, which weren't slouches by any means.

dogger114 · 03-28-2008, 05:23 PM

Mirage Omnisat V2 7.1 with Omnisat 12" sub

richteer · 03-28-2008, 05:30 PM

Spendor SP1 Mk 2s for my speakers currently, though an upgrade is in mind (after I get a new TV and amp!). The Martin Logan Summits are currently at the top of my list. My other faves, the Magnepan MG 20.1, have been ruled out by the boss due to their size. :-(

OK, they may be a little big for my room, but I'd rather come to that conclusion myself instead of it being handed down by decree!

Petra_Kalbrain · 03-28-2008, 05:36 PM

B&W in my corner! Subwoofer included.

They are top of the line in quality and modest in size... all for a reasonable price.
