Found out my speakers are crap! Which channel to change?

KS you live in right next to Manhattan that has a collection of some of the best audio stores in the world. I should know, I've been to all of them. Don't waste your time at J&R, Best Buy or Circut City.

I recommend the following stores:

Ooooh! thanks for the store info, I've been calling some places and they don't have showrooms, just contractors, I was planning to take a visit to Innovative to look at some B&M 601's, but now I might make a few stops (Its going to cost me more in parking than a speaker pair lol)

I was just plannig to upgrade the mains, but now I want to change everything

( I just looked at that PSB package, seems like alot for the price)

i dont understand. You should be able to figure out that u have a bad setup by listening to it, not by what a bunch of people on the internet say is crap. Are you looking to spend money or something? I mean if you think what you got is pretty good, why the hell would you get something else?

I have never heard anything else before, and still really haven't. I recently listen to my buddy's HT in a box and think it sounds like crap compared to mine. And mine is low quality it must sound like crap to most of your setups.
I do have hole in my pocket problem, but that isn't it, I just don't want to miss out, when one of my favorite things to do is to watch a good action/scifi movie. Might as well make it the best possible expirience as I can

Think Used, Cheap and Vintage.

Find yourself a nice pair of highly rated by this forum, vintage JBL L-100's or better still Pioneer HPM-100's. The current black painted speakers that will equal these will cost thousands.

Check the newspaper want ads, and ebay if you have to. A few hundred dollars ought to do it. And you will get real walnut vineer to boot that may make the wife happier too.
