This is a question for all hi-fi maniacs. I'd like to create a great impianto hi-fi in my house and i'd like to know your opinion.
Which are your favs speakers and subwoofer, in your opinion?
I.e. B&W, Jamo, Polk Audio, etc...
Let me know which is the best brand.

I'm quite happy with my current setup: Dynavoice speakers (details on request)... but I'm not sure they are available in other countries than Sweden.
Are you looking for an amplifier as well?

My middle of the range cambridge soundworks surround sound system is a good all round system that works especially well for films and EAX games as well as being tolerable (if not great) for music.

I use Mordaunt Short Declarations. Got a pair of floorstanding 906's (linkey) and am in the process of buying a pair of stand mounted 902s (linkey) for post-uni home cinema goodness ;)
The 906s ROCK but make sure you have a BIG room and no fecking fabric on the walls (muffles the sound) oh yeah and spikes !!!

Yeah, I should buy an ampli too... I'm choosing between DENON, TEAC, ONKYO, MARANTZ and YAMAHA.

I've had Yamaha amps in the past and have been pretty impressed by their quality.
If you're looking for a mini system by any chance, check out the Teac 500 series. Great sound and a nice clean look.

Thiel makes outstanding speakers, probably some of the best you can buy, but they're rather expensive and more geared toward audiophiles.
I would actually like to know some recommendations for a good subwoofer. I'm trying to put together a system myself.

JBL and BOSE are amazing.
I sort of know my stuff when it comes to this subject. I work in a giant appliance store.

How much are you willing to pay? It would be easier to recommend a system if we know this.

well, here's my setup:
2 x Dynavoice Studio 2 (front) 1 x Dynavoice Moviemagic 2 (rear+center) 1 x Dynavoice Ground Zero 12" (subwoofer) 1 x Sony STRDB870 Amplifier/Receiver
... around 1500$ USD for this lot.
...although i'm using my Sony TAFB940 amp for HI-FI sessions, playing music that is.
highly recommended! sony is good.

It's impossible to find dynastar in Italy, they seem really good speakers.
Your system is really very good.
I've only some doubt about Sony, maybe I'd prefer brands as Denon, Onkyo or Marantz.

damn, some of you have a lot of money to spend on this stuff. I've got a budget system. a sony str-de185 stereo receiver and a pair of yamaha ns-6390 3-way "bookshelf" speakers. I put bookshelf in quotes because I'm not sure what kind of bookshelf they would fit on. It's definitely good enough for me. I'm not obsessed with perfect sound or anything.

For enjoy music like Confield by Autechre or Drukqs by AFX it's important to have a great quality stereo, imo.
I'm not obsessed with the hi-fi, at the moment i've only a simple stereo by Sharp but my next purchase will be amazing (i hope).
