Putting together a middle of the road home theater system. TV is handled. Now onto the audio. Already bought an Onkyo AV receiver spent 500 bucks and love it so far. Am still using the same speakers I have had since I was 15. Amazingly they still sound OK. Question is on a good brand. I include the price of the receiver in this question to kind of set the bar. No since putting 3000 dollar B&W speakers with a 500 dollar amp. Any feedback on good speakers in this range. Examples... Yamaha,...
A: Get the $3k B&Ws. Or Dynaudio, Thiel, NHT, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen, anything you can find at a real hifi store. They will last forever, they will hold their value, they will make a $500 receiver sound better than anything else. You can upgrade other components for years and still not reach the potential of such speakers. They are an investment. Polk, Klipsch, Cerwin Vega (please) aren't worth whatever you pay for them.
