Full range or sub/sat ?

Which give you what you want.I feel the best dedicated stereo only came from a pair of spica TC-50's and a vandersteen sub.The amp was a Musical fidelity B-1 or a B-2 I seem to have forgotten ( about 35 watts per ch. ).I felt the monitors got out of the way better than a full range with it's large baffle.

Kg, what kind of music do you listen most often? If mostly amplified jazz, blues or rock i would suggest monitor-sub combo.

If your room is big, sat-sub tandem is not for you

Sounds like you have made your decision...find a speaker you like...such as Spicas(which I used to own)...and if you crave lower end extension...get a good sub...I would opt for no sub vs. a cheap one...but hey...thats me...happy holidays...

Also...on pure cost...the Vandersteen model one floorstander is a great deal...and goes deep enough that one doesnt feel they are missing much....

As rediculous as it may sound. I actually would do floorstanders WITH a pair of subwoofers.

Ditto above, Ritteri, when speaking about "normally" priced speakers. Either that, or stratospherically priced full-ranges (i.e. $+25k).
