[slim] Speaker recommendation

2008-01-08 Thread sickmick
To change the subject from the new Duet, can anyone recommend any speakers to go with a new SB3 for a budget of £100. I've seen some Accoustic Energy (AE26) ones recommended (AE26), any feedback on these anyone? One caveat, is that I don't want anything too bulky! Cheers folks. -- sickmick

Thanks - I will take a look at a local dealer and see if I can find them. As I see what is available at the various price points I think I may adjust my range up a little. I found a pair of BW 600 Series DM602S3 on sale last week for $500.00. Not on sale this week - but I may audition a few

Most of the bookshelf speakers I can recommend are a little higher than your price range. I normally highly recommend staying away from big box stores but I did get a pair of 2 way Harmon Kardon bookshelves about 6 or 7 years ago that I was extremely happy with for a small room and they were

yea - I guess I will hit some of the BB stores and do some listening tests. BTW, I have those phone line filtering devices - they work fairly well. I wish that I could find something equivalent for filtering the RF interference out of the AC wiring. I have a keyboard amp and a set of powered

Try any of the Klipsch RB Series Bookshelf Speakers. I currently use RB-35s for my surround speakers. They really kick and the bass output is great. Fairly large though. They can be had on Ebay for a good price. -- Club1820

I've become a fan of Paradigm speakers, and have a pair of Monitor 7 floorstanders that I use with our Squeezebox. Those are out of that budget, but I've heard good things about the Atoms and Titans, both from the Performance line. They should be $220 or $250 for a pair, respectively,

A pair of BW DM303's will run you $300 for the pair, and they're pretty small/inobtrusive--about 13 tall. They poop out at the low end at just over 100Hz (can be fixed with a sub), but other than that they sound pretty good in a small room, especially for their price. -- CatBus
