Help!? http://www.home-audiospeakers.com/best-home-audio-speakers-300-help http://www.home-audiospeakers.com/best-home-audio-speakers-300-help#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:46:47 +0000 admin Hello guys. I am trying to decide on some home audio speakers. I want to buy 2 floorstanding speakers, or 2 bookshelf loudspeakers and I’m getting overwhelmed with all the models. I have a decent Denon 80w -110w Reciever it is 7.1 and it should work fine. Price limit around 0 for a pair.

I’m mainly stuck between a few models. Any help would be appreciated, I’m also concerned a bookshelf speaker with a 5.5 speaker or a 6.5" might not put enough sound out for movies, tv, and football watching. But they should right?? I have like 8 year old floorstanding junk speakers ATM.. Models I’m considering are:

Klipsch B-3 Synergy Bookshelf Loudspeakers

Energy RC-10 Bookshelf Speakers

AV123 ELT525T Floorstanding Towers

Or maybe something from Polk, please NO Bose recomendations please
I want to stay around 0 for a pair, that’s why I’m looking elsewhere over the ELT’s

Thanks!
Primus look nice, might cost to much. Oh and vanns.com has nice free stands with some purchases like the RC-10, and AV123 are private company and supposed to be some sweet stuff

I have a yamaha htr 6030 receiver with the 5 yamaha satellites it came with. Most floorstanding speakers are capable of handling 200+ watts but most receivers are only 100 watt per channel, and even a lot of amps are the same. Want to know if there are any good amps that can put out 300 or 400 watts per channel and not cost over 1grand but still sound good.

High Sound Quality for HD Era

Yamaha Floorstanding Speakers

Yamaha Floorstanding Speakers

With more and more music and movie sources becoming high definition, such as digital broadcasting and Blu-ray Discs, your speakers have to be able to clearly reproduce the detail and clarity that these sources provide. The NS-F210 speakers use new aluminum woofers for extra-fast response and balanced dome tweeters to ensure the best possible sound from HD sources. The NS-F210 speakers are designed to reproduce the full, dynamic sound of HD sources.

Aluminum Cone Woofers
The use of lightweight, high stiffness aluminum for the woofer diaphragm allows high speed cone movement for fast response to each sound (fast attack). The sound is clean and detailed, with exceptionally good bass response. In addition, because the unit does not have magnetic shielding, a larger than normal magnet could be used, allowing more sound information to be extracted from the source for more realistic sound staging.

7/8″ Balanced-Dome Tweeter
This tweeter is a refined version of the balanced-dome design used in Yamaha’s

In-wall speaker systems are an effective method to enjoy outstanding music while keeping the speakers hidden. Also known as in-ceiling speaker and recessed ceiling speaker, an in-wall speaker system is most ideal in a home theater environment. Open back, semi-sealed, and sealed systems are among the different types of in-wall speaker systems.

In-wall speaker systems have many advantages over a conventional speaker system. The main advantages of in-wall speaker systems are that they don’t occupy any floor space and are easy to hide. Further, it can be installed across any flat surface including ceilings and floors. Cost effectiveness, custom installation, compatibility, flexibility, increased power handling and easy installation are the other advantages. In-wall speaker systems are most suitable for multi-room audio systems. Usually, two styles of in-wall speaker systems are available in the market, one intended for home theater and the other for whole-house audio.

An in-wall speaker system functions in the same way as a regular one. But, the only difference is that, instead of installing within a cabinet, it is generally mounted in the ceiling. In-wall speaker systems use wall cavity as enclosure, and come attached with a grill and frame that can be painted according to the color of the ceiling or floor. A guide or manual demonstrating the step by step installation are available at the time of purchase of in-wall speaker systems, which makes the installation process quite easy.

In-wall speaker wires or cables and subwoofers are important for the proper

functioning of in-wall speaker systems. In-wall speaker wires are available in both 14 and 16 gauges, and specially certified wires known as UL Class 3 rated cables are used for the better performance of in-wall speakers.

However, in-wall speaker systems have certain disadvantages. Since an in-wall speaker system is fixed in a particular area of the room, it is difficult to make further modifications. Diffraction loss also affects the performance of in-wall speakers. Another disadvantage is that the labor costs of in-wall speaker wiring are high.
