« on: Dec 11, 2010 at 08:41 PM »
must have a matching center. no hundred k up speakers. just for reference as i'm wondering what to upgrade to next without going too high.

notes:

1. will be driven by an onkyo 808. low sensitivity speakers not a problem. 4 ohm speakers also not a problem.
2. matching center a must...
3. prefer bookshelf..

Les why not go SVS all the way. The guys had just a listening session last saturday & it was all praises. Maybe this would fit your taste also, especially the SUBS ;D

In the recent hi-fi show, the small FS retails for 175k - while the small BS was going for 75k.

bro, if you liked the sound of dali and your entire system has been optimized for its house sound, why not go for the mentor series floorstanders this time. :)
