Okay so I'm sure you guys get these types of questions all the time, and I apologize. I am the newbie of the hour. I have a really basic equipment list. Yamaha HTR-5250 5.1 receiver (I don't even remember the wattage but I believe it's about 125 watts per channel). I have an SACD player, an SVS 10 inch box sub (forget the specific model name/number) and Infiniti studio monitor mains. I also have the center and rears, but am not worried about those at the moment.
99% of my listening is music. I love loud music, and I love bass. Hard hitting, tight, concise, distortion free bass is my main concern. I listen to rock (heavy and light rock) and heavy metal. Anything from Metallica to Dream Theater, Pink Floyd to AC/DC and everything in between. Midrange and treble are great, too, obviously.
I don't know specific measurements of the room they will be going in, because, well, I don't live there yet (I am about to move out of my current townhome and into something else in a different city). Too much is never enough for me, so I'm not too concerned with overkill. I am looking to replace my mains with something to suit my style. I have heard Klipsch before and loved the sound, but I'm not sure if my setup would supply enough power for the sound clarity I am wanting.
What would be your recommendation for 2 channel sound to give me the volume and clarity AND BASS I am wanting?
I am willing to spend no more than $2000 for speakers. Would I really be better off upgrading my electronics for just 2 channel sound, or can I get some decent sound from what I got? THANK YOU for your suggestions.
