Hi David,

Seems everyone has given you good advice. I can only add to the discussion by suggesting that you take your time auditioning speakers. Do a search for available speakers that you have within driving distance of your house...then start auditioning Take your time...and find out what you like.

Also, as rga has suggested, don't discount smaller speaker makers...many of these speakers can be great values. If you find that your interested in a particular (hard to find) speaker...do some research online...find what audio discussion forum has alot of talk about them...then post a message asking if there is anyone in your area that owns these speakers...and ask if you would be able to audition them. You may just get lucky

One last suggestion is that you also consider used/demo gear. There can be a good deal of money saved by buying used/demo gear. But do be careful that you buy from a seller (or dealer) with a good reputation...and ensure that the product is in good working order.


have fun!
