So, now you're bragging about the fact that you had a $60 speaker, designed to compete with the Radioshack Insignia speakers. And you're therefore implying that you've heard every sony speaker and didn't like them, because you "had a pair, but never took it out the box"?


then you go on, saying you don't like Adcom (even though it's more decent than everything else you own), and when we scroll down a little more, we see that you've bought one anyway...

make up your mind boy...

anyway... Even though I haven't been here since the beginning of this site, I already lost count of how many people were raving about Cerwin Vega's being the best speakers, and that they needed moar of it. Of course, as it would happen, all these people discribe themselves as "audiophiles" on their profile too. Then most of them also continue asking with what sony receiver (or other big box brand) to "make them sing"...

as for the answer: it's always the same.

CV is loud, that's about it. Even an upgrade, new crossovers, heck, even new cabinets, would not make them any better than mediocre, at best. But if loud is what you want, it's a good solution. As far as I can make out of your posts, loud is what you're looking for, although you keep saying you want something good.

well, in that case, Pixelthis, was absolutely right. There is simply no sense in buying a sony receiver. they made great things in the past, and they make great tv's now, but there is what it stops, TV's, and occasionally, a very expensive pair of speakers, that is not selling that well because other speakers of the same price range, perform way better.

so, NO sony stuff. none.

if you're planning to buy a receiver, for home theatre use, at a normal price, look at Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, heck, even Pioneer's latest series appears to be good, but I'm not a pioneer fan, and I still wonder why all their receivers consequently weigh 2kg (or more) less than the competitor's offering.

you said there are people with great gear, for which I thank you. And you could be like that too, but please don't go the sony/CV route then...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.
