hi! my dad and i are planning to setup a new HT. our problem is that we are having trouble determining what brand of speakers to buy. before i suggested to get B&W but its too expensive. mission too is also expensive. last week we were able to go to an HT store in festival and we were introduced to wharfedale (2006-2007 model. includes sub). we are almost set to buying this set up together with an onkyo amp (60 sumtin ata yun) but i would want to read the suggestions of the experts! hope you guys could help me out. just throw out any suggestions with regards to brands and what stuff to buy.
*i also heard of the jamo brand. is that any good? and do the speakers manufactured in china any good? i mean could they be compared to those made in europe. i know there is a big difference but is the sound quality considered to be above average?
*by the way, we have an old sony 5.1 and 6.1 DTS amps! baka may interested na bumili dyan...
hi dino...dont rush things...listen to as many speakers as you can. only then can you decide which ones are good and which ones are not, at least for your own preference. consider buying only the one that you really want among all that you have listened to. dont settle for anything less. otherwise, youll be listening to it while your mind is wishing for something else. buy the one that is realistically affordable to you, save up and go for it. to start with, here are some options u may wanna try: BnW, paradigm,dynaudio,kef, usher, dali, vienna acoustics, monitor audio, energy, psb, tannoy, jmlab, nht, reference 3a, epos, thiel, meadowlark, vandersteen,mission, polk audio, aurum cantus, jbl, acoustic energy, wharfedale, mordaunt short, jamo, proac, spendor, harbeth, totem, triangle, LSA, von schweikert, living voice, coincident...be very familiar with the sound of each and start from there
...quite a long list huh
