Edmonton Area HT Stores - Blu-ray Forum

allstar780 · 08-25-2008, 03:27 AM

I will be going to Edmonton for a few days towards the middle of September, and I am hoping to do a bit of shopping for a set of speakers to use for music (powered by a tube amp hopefully) for the bedroom... I was wondering if anyone can recommend good local shops to check out... or a few brands that might be within my price range.

Since they are just for bedroom use, I am not looking to spend more than $500 for a pair of speakers, and I would prefer some that can be easily mounted to the wall (but it is not a necessity, towers would be fine), the only other real catch is that the most power the speakers will get from the amp is 15W so they should be decently efficient.

I know

I found them through the B&W site actually! But with the speakers they carry, one whole day of my trip should be dedicated to that store... I almost think I should just take my budgeted cash in there and leave the credit card at the hotel or something!

I have the smaller 686's for my rear surrounds and they are flat out bad ass ! The 685's are a bit biger and man do they pump out some clean sound they list at 600. So the wise thing to do is leave the credit card at home ! However, you are on vacation and the addict in me would say take it. Just in case

The other 2 brands I was considering were Totem (small canadian company) and Mirage... just because each makes speakers in my (somewhat flexible) price range... any other recommendations in terms of speaker brands? (i know plenty... I just dont know of many that make bookshelfs in my price range)
