When I was in the audio business, we sold the first set of ultra highend Kef stereo speakers. Our store owner flew with our customer to sample speakers at CES and settled on the custom made $50,000 Kef speakers. They are built start to finish by one craftsman, all the wood grain matches when you stack the set. Absolutely gorgeous but $50,000 for a stereo pair of speakers...

I'm not sure I would ever buy anything from Klipsch that cost that much. My buddy has a set of electrostats from Martin Logan paired with Krull components that sound absolutely unbelievable not to mention deafening. I mean, this is the center channel speaker MartinLogan | Stage

Martin Logan's are nice. Electrostatic speakers tend to be on the bright side of the spectrum (it's their nature). The customer that bought the $50,000 Kef's didn't like his $30,000 Logan's His system was for stereo listening only and was worth more than his house.

That's why he paired them with this subwoofer with 3x 10" drivers

Also the front speakers each have a built-in 15" powered driver in their base. It's just crazy to me, but hey, I get to enjoy it so who I am to say anything

It's situations like these that makes me glad that I'm not an audiophile. If it works, and is crisp and tight...I'm happy.

I agree, I'm all about the budget. But I at least have to build my system myself. No all-in-one packaged systems for me. Really happy with my Sony receiver and Polk front speakers and center channel (though cheap Sony sub sucks my left nut).

goooodam everyone!


thanks mr.alcheng. but man, that thing looks like a science experiment? would go well with my old crt imac though.




mr.happy- you're doing fine!

if one knows anything about audio, having nice speakers is only about 1/3 of the equation. the rest is room modes...meaning, the listening environment has to be controlled, then caliberated..and the audio source. and klipsh imho sounds like crap. honestly speaking, having a good set of headphones is much better if going on a budget.

in my music room, i use near field monitors by yamaha, placed on monitor stands with acoustic isolators, room with baffles to control reflection, 31band per channel EQ and noise generators to calibrate the monitors to the room. overall cost is cheap... like $2K tops with everything included.

it has sound that translates well to other sound systems including headphones and computer speakers. basically what you hear is what you get.

then you have times where i just want to watch youtube or hear mp3's in the background. i dont run my monitors for that. i just use a small USB computer speaker that hangs on the LCD of my MBP . (sounds good for wat it is).

Amazon.com: Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305: Electronics

not sure why they list for $119...cause i only paid $45 at target.

the reason why i want the 2.1 is i dont have much room left in my music room as i ready have 2 completely independent systems running in there. one for playing/screwing around, one for composition. i want the cheapo 2.1 to use for practice. ive been using my headphones but my wife says there are many times i dont hear her and the kids when they are calling me. hahahaha...

Yay!! reps finally reset Sending some of that forum vd around shortly
