Bought Denon 2105 on Spec, Fiber Optics Question

[hershon]

Unless one day, I magically encounter a system where I'm in love at first hearing with a sound system that I could duplicate myself & had the money for, I'm going to stick with my Orb Speakers as the foundation to my sound. I have yet to hear a system in any of the high end stores I visited in LA such as Ken Crane's and Shelly's, that the sound on their very expensive name systems/speakers, was better than my Orb Mod 1 system with a JVC DVD RX DV31SL receiver for rock/blues music. Also note that I live in an apartment and my sound system is in my normal sized carpeted living room, so for my ears the volume/power is more than enough.

One thing I recommend is, if someone is looking for a great second system under $1500, to try the Orb Mod 1 Set Up (5 satellites and a sub) & this specific JVC receiver. Orb has a 30 day return policy so you're losing nothing & the receiver is easy to resell for close to
your purchase price (Orb will also sell you that receiver at retail- I'm not sure if the 30 day return policy applies to that) & see for yourself.

There's nothing wrong with wanting more...you're only human. But I don't see where anyone attacked you maliciously. Only reasonable suggestions from experienced people.
Does this mean you'll take a shot at upgrading your speakers now? Or will you just be content with what you have?

I'm glad you lile them but i wouldnt try them for myself as i'm a beliver in that small of a speaker being able to reproduce HT sound but thats just me and i to listen to rock and blues so i want nothing smaller then bookshelf. I might consider those if i was in an apartment and couldnt play them with much volume. Return everything and just stick with what you have or you could come by and listen to my Denon and B&W's in a house environment instead of a store and get a better idea of what something esle would sound like. I must have cd's you would like. Its an offer if you think it might help. I only have RS and cheaper moster cable. LOL

Good point. I'm revising my post above to reflect on that I live in an apartment & my system is in my normal sized living room.
