I am looking for a pair of speakers to go along with my Harman Kardon HK 3480 stereo receiver. I will not use an amp due to budget. I am looking for a pair that will supply with some really smooth, crisp, and nice highs and good midrange with a punch of bass. I do have a Polk Audio 12 inch subwoofer by the way. I listen to mainly rock. Budget for speakers~ 700 factory fresh.
If you can maybe recommend a good amp and pair of speakers that total my budget thats good too. THANKS! |

If you like rock, than check out Klipsch speakers. I would advise you to look at both the Synergy line and Reference lineup as well. They are clean, clear, and have an "in your face" sound that is suited for rock, with nice tight bass from the larger bookshelf speakers and floorstanders. The reference speakers are better than the synergy speakers, but some can't justify the added cost.
Others here may advise you with other brands. |

I have to concur on the Klipsch stuff. I had a Adcom/Klipsch set up in college and it would tear the roof off of my house. Lots of slam and low end for the money. You may also look at Audiogon and search for pre-owned B&W 600 series like a 603 or 604 floorstanders. You may have to stretch your budget a tiny bit, but they are pretty nice speakers that would serve you well.
If your heart is set on new, you may look at Axiom.com they are a direct to consumer outfit and I've heard good things about their stuff.
Also, be sure to check out AudioAdvisor.com and audiophileliquidator.com They have PSB speakers and a lot of others in your price range. The sky is the limit in finding a speaker in your price range. Take your time and try to listen to as much you can. Good Luck and let us know what you end up doing. |
