Hi everyone,


I am looking to possibly buy some speakers soon. I am looking at floorstanding speakers, and my budget is around $1,000 per pair. Someone reccomended me the Polk RTI8, paired with a subwoofer.


Here is what I am looking for.

Loudness, I love loud speakers... I was looking at cerwin vega ve/ce-15's, but there is no dealer around here.

Bass - I also love bass... I do listen to lots of music with tons of bass.

I also of course want clarity, but I am a beginner to any "good" audio equipment, so I don't know anything about imaging and things like that.

I also saw some ribbon speakers. How do they compare to traditional speakers? What are the pros/cons (I know they don't have any low end usually, but a woofer can fix that, right?) Are ribbon speakers as loud?
