Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc....

before everyone chimes in on this spkr or that spkr, how bout sharing with us what the system consists of, the size of the room, how loud you listen and what kind of music you'll be listening to and your budget. That way you can get better suggestions...just my $.02

I would offer different speaker suggestions based on your answers to the above.

Thanks Lou. You can see my semi-vintage office system by clicking on the system link. I listen at fairly low volume in the office most of the time.

Keep it simple...sound dynamics Rts 3...fits most rooms

I would have to agree with Shakeydeal on this one. For the price of entry on the used market, Klipsch Heritage speakers are tough to beat.

I currently have an updated pair of Klipsch Heresys powered by an Integra DTM-40.4($550.00 msrp) network stereo receiver. The suprising thing here is not the Heresys but the Integra. For one, it is network capable both wired and wireless and the sound quality is phenominal. I have never heard such an inexpensive piece provide such a wide and deep soundstage with fantastic imaging and low end punch. truly 3-dimensional. I am totally blown away by the performance of this Integra and Klipsch combo.

I replaced probably one of my favorite pieces, a Luxman R-117 receiver, with this Integra and it truly has not taken a backseat to the Luxman at all. Less headroom(80w/ch vs 160w/ch) Integra vs Luxman but not really noticeable in dynamics.

The Onkyo version(TX-8050) is the same receiver minus zone 2 subwoofer preout and replaceable power cord, but it can be purchased for $169.00 at Accessories4less.com.
