Bookshelf Speakers

Hi,

I live in a small apartment, and only have room for a small set of speakers. I want to locate them on the left and right sides of my tv. I do not have a home theater system, and I am planning on using an old Carver Receiver 150 as a source, and the tv out into the Carver also. I can't play music loud in this apartment, so heavy bass is out. (obviously due to size constraints also).

What would you guys reccommend for a 2 speaker system?

Thanks,

Lundo

I have not compared the two myself. I have 2 pairs of 302s I use for movies in a surround setup with the CC3 center. I have read the new 303 has slightly smoother treble with the new tweeter, which results in a slightly more refined sound. The older 302 throws up a slightly bigger and more complex soundstage.

Listener Magazine had a writeup on 5 or 6 small bookshelf speakers that you should read. I have never purchased any of their recomendations but their reviews are a lot more user friendly then the other audio rags and my impression is that they are straight shooters. In any case, this is a good starting point. A personal favorite of mine is Coincident Speaker Tech. Triumph or Triumph Sigs. If you can find a decent pair in the used market I can't see how you could go wrong.

If you have the chance, listen to the KEF Q15.2, it is worth your time to include this in your search. Best of luck.
