New Speakers Soon-opinions Sought - Blu-ray Forum

almy · 10-07-2007, 08:31 PM

Ever since the original Bose 901s came out back in '68 I've been using omni-directional speakers trying to get the "wall of sound". Current front speakers are Carver Amazing-Platinum Editions. They don't need a sub-woofer and the center channel is a cheap Klipsch. Rears are 20 year old book-shelf jobs. It all sounds pretty good, but my living room can't hold them and a 65" DLP without the walls looking crowded. Can anyone recommend a good sub/sat surround system? Home Theatre (on line) ran a review a year ago praising the Definitive Technology "ProCinema 2000" speaker set along with a Pioneer TXS94 receiver. I bought the new Pioneer 92 last week and in a month or so will be begin looking for speakers. The important thing is that any speakers I buy are for audio too, since I have a substantial CD collection. Any suggestions?

I have Klipsch speakers in every room in the house, both for home theater and for pc's as well. I highly recommend them. If you want something elegant but not to obtrusive then check these out below:

I can actually vouch for the Quintet SL as I've heard it in a setup several times. They sound phenomenal.

The Cinema 6 Series is basically a Reference Bookshelf series. It must sound amazing too.

And best of all they're both around $1000. You would need to get a subwoofer for the Quintet SL though.
