Battle of the affordables

I am confused. Who said something inexpensive cannot sound good? I certainly did not. A Honda Civic is a great car, and I sure can't afford one. I said nothing about price.

If we were on Let’s Make a Deal and I had to choose from your list for me I would choose the SVS based on my listening experiences with the brands.  

The SVS floorstanders got an impressive review but appear to need a fairly large room. 

You have good amplification, that helps. And this list is fine, you will always get other suggestions in an open forum.

What are your listening habits? Genre preference? Typical volume levels? Are you a hard core rocker or jazz and acoustic? And room size, that makes a difference as well.
