Hi all,
Hopefully after hours of looking on the web, I found a place to help me.
Anyway I am a serious newbie who only found out about 2 months ago what a difference Hi-Fi seperates make.
Anyway I have a few questions, Ok I have bought a NAD 320 Bee Amp and a NAD 521 Bee CD Player, and now I need speakers. Now I'm only into Hip Hop music (hey we all have our faults) so I really want speakers with good bass, also 2 other drawbacks, 1) I only have about $300 to $400 to spend and 2) I live in Thailand, the place where I bought my NAD stuff are pushing me to buy AR PS-2262 Speakers, and while I like the sound, the price is about $350 and I have looked on the net and they are priced only $199 in the US. So I've been looking around and have found JAMO and Klipsch speakers, now the specs on the AR's and the cheaper JAMO's E-350 are exactly the same but the Jamo's are only $200 ... my question is if the specs are identical, does that mean that they sound identical. Also there are some more expensive Jamo's E-550,E-650 and E-850 also the X650 which has improved Bass.
Anyway please give me some advice, although my thai is ok, I don't know much thai talking about speakers. I really want standing speakers, should I stick with the AR or should I go with Jamo ... any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
