which speaker to buy

SVS ULTRA’s I have the piano white bookshelves and I absolutely love them. They list for $1k but will compete with speakers 3 times the price. Ask any owner. I started with SVS Prime bookshelves and they are only $500 for the pair and they are quite good and will completely satisfy 95% of the people out there, for sure. I just purchased a $2550 pair of QUAD Z2s for a great price of $750 used only 4 months and they are beautiful in there own but I only got them because it was such a great deal I could not pass them up. Don’t let anyone tell you to buy one speaker over another unless you can try them out for yourself. Everyone has different sound tastes. I have had a lot of different speakers and the SVS’s have been my favorite overall. Best Buy has them to hear. Check them out, and keep an eye on Craigslist for them in your area. Dogger

Harsh, but quite a reasonable piece of advice @twoch. We call them helicopter parents and I do not like the way they don't raise their kids.

If your son listens at louder than 95 dB SPL he will have no hearing to listen with by the time he's 60. Maybe he will be satisfied with that for the years of ear shattering music but in the end he will regret it. Take my word for it as a former very loud listener. No mater how little distortion there is it will ruin his ears.

To the OP. As I mentioned on your " pro's and con's of bridging " thread, your son has 2 different Mc amps, and bridging them for use as a stereo pair, will not give him a matched system. Sonic differences between the 7300 and 2002 exist. Also, as his father, you should talk him out of blowing up and destroying his hearing. I listen loud, but always use caution, and to get to " live amplified " levels in a typical living room, is not easy, nor wise.
