Newbie Needs Assistance

Give yourself the gift of efficient full range speakers, sized for your space, which is _____?

That will avoid the NEED for subs (cost/placement/blend issues).

Will also keep your power needs lower. smaller power needs = less money, less size/heat/weight, more placement options, much is gained besides saving money.

New or Used? Caution with return privilege's can often get you quite a lot of choices.

Personally, I avoid esoteric brands.

happy hunting,

@sns I’ve obviously got my head up my butt on this Raven thing.  What’d I miss?

A circle jerk festival....9 pages so far. They have a picture of MC and one of Raven Dave in the middle. Obviously there is still time to get involved but I doubt you'd like it. You have too much sensibility.......well, unless you like buying equipment by the pound. Think lb. = pound...not.....................

Gave a call to Decware this morning. List is 11-12 months deep. Probably not a good option for someone trying to get back into into. Most likely a great future option for upgrade. 

Maybe the better option is shoot for something like a Rogue Audio Sphinx or Schiit something and then get on the list for a Decware in a year or two. I did find a used AVA Set 120. Then I can grab the Bluesound and a Dac.

My wife did hear Tannoy Stirlings and she really liked them. I do find it funny. She gives me a budget of 5 - 6K but when she finds something she likes the budget creeps a bit.
