Which is for me, floorstanding, or books w subs?

I have a small room, about the size of a dorm, and am getting a denon avr 1708. I mainly listen to music through my computer.I listen to mainly metal and rock, look up children of bodom-are you dead yet, and A perfect circle the outsider for ex.

I have been told that I might be better off getting bookshelf speakers with a sub, but comparing my dads sony surround system with my pair of old fisher floor standing(ds-825) and my friends klipsch forte It's, I kind of like the sound of the floor standing better. Then again, I haven't really heard what stereo books w/ subs can do and sound like configured for my kind of music.

So what do you think? Also give examples less than $400.

In looking back at your past posts, didnt you pretty much as this same question a few months ago ? Ideas were given as to "what might" work, but even those suggestions were a little over your intended budget.

Not trying to be disrespectful when I say this, but with a budget of only $400, your choices for a speaker that can play the music you like is very limited, if there are any.

I see this as you have two options here, one would be to keep what you currently have or two would be to continue to save more money which will open up more options for speakers that " might " work.

For that budget I would urge you to look into a used pair of KEF Q series speakers, Q30 or above if you think floorstanders will be the solution.

Headphones are your best bet on your budget.

I was quite impressed with the Boston Acoustics CR-8 a few years ago. Whatever its successor is today, it's probably also pretty darn good for the money (which should be within your ballpark).
