speaker upgrading time!!!

[audio_dude]

carl... one problem... i need the desk, and the chair to go with it :P

[audio_dude]

any other suggestions? for you new comers go back to page three near the bottom to see my new room layout and make suggestions on it, or speakers to go in it

Thanks!

[GMichael]

here is my room layout (its not like this now, but will be when i get new speakers.)

Any suggestions will be taken into appreciation.

But I don't see a cottonwood tree or a kitty box.

Gmicheal... did you just compare my room to spanky's?...

do that again and i'll kill you... then myself...

[bobsticks]

Hey G, don't forget the boy band posters on the door and walls...

Seriously, Rob, it's too bad that those Studio v.2s sold. I think Feanor was on to something. IMHO, you'll be better served in that room by a good set of bookshelves. I tried putting floorstanders in my office, which is not much bigger, and the experience was horrible. Muddy bass up the wazoo...Good luck with the search.

He can get floorstanders in a room that size without muddy bass... I've done it before...

Just don't get anything with more low end extension than dual 6.5 inch woofers and you should be fine...

OK, but only if you kill yourself first. I'll go second.

ok gmichael, deal...



but seriously, what about a front ported floorstander such as a used pair of Von Schweikert VR-2's?

[basite]

My room is just a little bit bigger as yours, and I have 2 12" woofers in it...

I think that when you set floorstanders up correctly, that you shouldn't have any problems with them in you room...


Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Let me know when you find a pair of Von Schweikert VR-2's for $600; if you don't buy them, I might.

Mind you, the pair I heard were a little boomy in the bass -- and that was in a room about 20' x 90'. Also, you'll need to turn off the rear-firing speaker if their only a few inches from the wall.

Feanor: If I want to get VR-2's, thats cause i decided i'm waiting 'till after summer to buy them so I can increase my budget to around $1000

i'm looking for those, or a pair of apogee centaurs.

[audio_dude]

Out of these three, which would you recommend for my room and amp:

Von Schweikert VR-2
Apogee Centaur
Magnepan MG12

[audio_dude]

oh well, i guess this thread has had it... i'll put it to bed now. (and i'll revive it in 3 or 4 months when i've got my $1000!!!)
