Well it seems I came off wrong or something. I know I am no audiophile like many of the people on this website but I am enthusiastic and would really like to learn more and have something that would give a decent picture or at least as decent of one as I can buy. I know the B&W's are around $600 but I wasn't planning on buying retail, Audiogon or even sometimes Ebay carry them within my price range. Alsp I obviously do not know what all of you feel about Polk, but whenever I've heard them I've been unimpressed. I am right now most interested in the Tannoys and if anyone had opinions on those or other speakers similar to them I should listen to so I can widen my horizons a little, that was what I was really hoping to learn by asking you all this. Also though there are other brands in my price range I jsut haven't been able to listen to because I'm busy with school, such as Mission, Mirage, Energy (again I know they're expensive but if they're quality enough I would save longer), or anything like that. It would mean a lot to me so I can know what I should try and locate to listen to.
