Hi all,

This is my first post, however, have been lurking in the shadows for quite some time now. Thanks in advance for all your help! I am in the market for some new speakers. My purpose is 2-fold, to free up some space in switching to towers and removing the sub (bad idea?), as well as upgrading my current speakers.

I am contemplating 2 sets of used towers (assume both to be in similar, like-new condition) and would appreciate any input. They are a set of Definitive Technology BP 8s and Klipsch KSP-300. Based upon reviews both seem to have been looked at favorably back in their day, but that was many years ago. Am I spinning my wheels trying to get a used deal? Which set do you think would be optimal from a home theater 5.1 standpoint? Do the two really compare? My current receiver is a Denon avr-889, is this enough to handle a higher-end tower set-up?

Thanks for your time and again for your help!

Regards,

Chris
