Ok. We had a kickass party last weekend and unfortunately people kept turning the music up after my wife and I kept turning it down. End result = Blow front/main speakers. I want to try and replace with something as close to what I had for practical and budget reasons. The entire system is starting to show it's age but is more than adequate for now. The system is as follows:
Samsung LN52B750 LCD TV
Marantz SR-7000 Amplifier
Philips CDC-935 CD Player
Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble Surround System
Cambridge Soundworks Base Cube 15 Subwoofer
The two front speakers are blown. Center, two rear surrounds and the sub are all fine, as is the Marantz. My first reaction was to buy a pair of the Cambridge Soundworks mc630hd speakers at $199.99 each. The only basis I have for this is that I assume they would likely match well with the existing system. Also, I'd like something equally small that will fit on the same stands I am currently using. What has me waffling is there are lots of nice speakers out there for $400 and was wondering if anyone has any other ideas. I do not want to start spending lots of money until I decide to replace the entire system - TV, Receiver and Speakers, DVD/Blue Ray, etc. For now, I'm sticking with replacing the two front speakers. Does anyone have some suggestions that would be a suitable alternative to the CSW mc630hd's? Many thanks in advance for all.
