Speaker recomendations plz?

I hear nothing but great reviews and feedback on the new B&W 685 bookshelf speakers. They sell for around $650.00/pr I believe. They're very much alive. I've heard them myself. They incorporate technologies taken from the far more expensive 800 series loudspeakers. Just a thought.

I have also been recommended those, however they are a bit out of my price range.

Also, when I said the klipsch rf-5's, I meant to put klipsch rb-25's which I can get on ebay for like 50-100$. I'd need something I could buy used for less than $200. Also, should I be using a sub?

Thanks for the help by the way.

Not sure what you mean by Suck as RF5's anyway.. Are you saying you don't like Klipsch so don't recommend them?

Anyway as for Metal music you will need something pretty efficient, and well balanced if you want any bass out of them. So yeah at your pricing some old klipsch Herseys or something like that would be pretty good... but they are not really a bookshelf, they still are fairly large, about half the height of a floorstander but double the size of your average bookshelf. Beyond that it will all come down to the matching with Denon, I have heard OLD denon Class A amps which are far better than the new surround models that work well with klipsch or any horn.

B&W in my opinion will break up at high volumes with metal, and will be pretty polite sounding without a subwoofer and some serious volume cranking them, possible an equalizer..

The best I can point you toward is pretty much anything From POLK audio.. Excellent match with most Denon equipment, and they can rock pretty good... Or possibly PSB speakers.
Good luck

Undertow, when I said suck as klipsch, I meant SUCH as... oops... But yeah, my dad has klipsch cornerhorns, and they're nuce, just not w/ my music.

Also,heresies may work. they don't need to be bookshelves, the rb-25's are kinda big too. I've just been told that bookshelves would fit best for the price. I am considering the 1708's because of their audysey function, which i've been told would helP what ever speaker I got. knowing that, what else do you recommend?

Their not bookshelves ..at the price I would find a way to make them fit in the room! lol

I have no affiliation with this company, but from all the audiophiles going koo koo for cocoa puffs over them.

There's got to be something to these $699.00 speakers.AV123 x-statik Tower Loudspeaker. Some of the finishes are gorgeous..when you think of how inexpensive the speakers are!

Finding speakers with sealed bass cabinets is also very difficult these days.I would save a little more and shoot for something like these.
