HT speakers?

[Clob]

How about these <A HREF="http://www.axiomaudio.com/epic80.html" target="_new"> Clicky </A>

A bit pricy, but no bad reviews.

Mabie a sub from SVS will be in order.

Those are impressive.

Like you said though, a bit pricey.

I guess having a reciever and amps to push those is where the real money is going. $2400 isant to bad. Ive seen more expencive. Not the mention the effenciency is realy nice. 95db on the towers, rear, and centre. 112 on the subwoofer. They look cool too. I guess I should save some $$$ to get these bad boys.

No you shouldn't. You should buy a $20 book on the science of speakers and $400-$600 in drivers, then make your own. It's more satisfying that way.

Hmm. Any books you recomend? I would be willing to make my own loudspakers.

So far from looking around on the net I learned.

1) Crossovers are complicated!
3) Revievers are way expencive!
4) Nothing is ever good enough! There are only acceptable ideas!

For speakers, anyone can figureout what linear respoce and DB stands for. I figured out that effenciency is much more important that wattage.

I realy want a reciever that has top notch audio quality, covers all the audio formats needed, and is not expencive because it has high wattage out put. I believe that is what amplifiers are for. I have seen recievers/preamps out there for a few hundred to $2,000. Thats insane!

I have never heard of that company but I find Canda makes nice speakers.

2400.00 isnt bad for a decent home theater. Also, personally I think a 200 watt amp in a subwoofer isnt enough.

I like HSU subwoofers and they sell HT.

BTW, SVS copied HSU's tube design. I'm not sure how SVS stacks up against HSUs.

Hmm. I know that HSU was around for longer, but I dont think that SVS stole the tube design, mostly because the tube design has ben around for a long long time. Also the SVS subs have better extension on the frequencys, put out more volume, and people say that they put out cleaner and tighter bass for cheaper. But thats what I hear and read on websights reviewing the two.

I didnt know tube designs have been around that long. HSU must have been the first one I had seen many years ago.

I think Hsu cost because of the bigger amps.

I will have to give SVS a listen.

Well amp power is not all that important. Its about the effenciency of the speaker (DB) when the amp is powering the speaker at its max. 1000W at 89db is less that 500W at 110db at the same frequency. (off the wall figures)
