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.

I built a small system for my son using Paul's TAD speakers. Took quite a while to burn them in, but for the $$ they rock just fine.

I haven't heard his new 805C Tower Setup, but same design/idea as the older model.

The TAD 805SD and TAD SW150 show up here used too.

No matter what speakers you end up going for... I would buy the best I could afford, and add a sub later if desired, when more funds are available. Especially at this price point.

Oh, I have one more suggestion. Visit av123.com and take a look at the X Series of speakers. They are under $500 and look very very interesting. They have some bookshelf speakers with a sub in your price range and you get a 30 day trial. This may be the ticket. I hear one of the guys behind them is the guy from Audio Alchemy. They will play loud too.

Used Vandersteen 1C. Music. Less than $500. By far the best option.
