I recently picked up 5 HTM-200s from Ascend Acoustics that I'm driving with a Denon 1802 receiver. I already had a Boston Acoustic PV600 sub to complete the package, however Ascend Acoustics also sells HSU subs for complete package systems. Overall the HTM-200s are compact, have crisp highs and rich mids, and enough lower mids/upper bass to blend well my BA sub. They seem to be able to play quite loud without strain, and are designed for on wall or near wall placement. I have no association with AA, however I think the HTM-200s offer excellent value and were just what I was looking for. |
Cambridge audio sight has a combo for around $550 including a DVD player and amps. Got good reviews - stereo review said they were the best speaker value in America. Sounds as good as Bose cubes for a lot less (which might not be reassuring enough - but for the price, it beats all the big names like sony, pioneer, etc.) |
