Tolstoyed, you can EASILY stay under 1500$ and have an incredibly kick ass system... Tell me what you need, do you have a high quality amp/CD deck/etc Your system is as good as it's weakest link |

I've learned a lot about monitor speakers lately... I once thought the flatest range would be the best for monitoring, but you have to compensate for highs and lows in the mix after you're done for it to sound good on all speakers. The best way to get monitor speakers is go to a store, bring several CDs that you want to master like, play them on every set of speakers you can and see what the difference is Mackie's are generally thought to be top of the line, Event 20/20 are the next in the line, VERY comparable and slightly less expensive. You won't notice the difference unless you're very attuned to what you're doing and in a good acoustic room. I have M-Audio Studiophiles, BX-8 which I got for 500$ for the pair. They have served me very well and are, in my opinion, the best for the price by a huge, huge margin. |

huh, basically i wan't to change everything...im always playing music from either my computer, cd-rom or dvd player so i was thinking if i'd stick with that for now, cuz im kind of used to use my comp as my sound resource :) i know this isn't good for the quality of sound but i can't help it heh. anyway, great news i can get nice system for that money... about monitor speakers...i can't tell the difference between normal speaker and monitor ones :) i don't think i can get "mackie's" over here... here's the shop i was thinking of going to if you're going to check it out, there are links to different components on the left side...ojacevalniki=amplifiers, zvocniki=speakers and thanks a lot for your help! |

hmm.. under 1.500$? if you want surround with just as good stereo, I recommend the Yamaha RxV-440 reciever, or up from that model. It has won tests because it is just as good with stereo as with surround. I've got the RxV-440, and I am VERY satisfied with its performance in both areas. If you just want stereo, maybe Classé would be the way to go, even though they ARE expensive. For speakers, I have the Audiopro Focus SA-5 speakers, which also have won tests. They have an incredibly wide frequency-band that will keep you from having to buy a sub (if you want surround) for a while. It will also give you good bass-reproduction on regular music. B&W also makes lots of good speakers, as well as Dali. You should also check out Infinity, but watch out as they just have discontinued production of certain lines. If you want to go all over the top with speakers (above the price-range you've set for your entire set), check out Martin Logans electrostatic speakers! For DVD, the Harman/Kardon DVD25 has gotten good reviews for being just as good with DVD as with cds. If you olny want CD, try marantz or denon. if you want vinyl, technics, rega or clearaudio are the top-choices. be wary you don't buy anythinh which has gone out of production from the company. lots of companies have just stopped producing some of their lines. |

I recommand him a Rotel. And monitor speaker are not for his kind of music. Tolstoyed must go to the shop with his CD-s and listn some of the speakers. Ears are his friends at chosing the speakers. |

im on to speakers now...i couldn't find anything you mentioned here and i don't feel like running around too much what would be better: 1) Infinity Alpha 40CH (3 way speaker, 20-200 W RMS, 8 ohm) or 2) jbl xti 80 (3 way speaker, 250 W , 6 ohm) any of these any good? |

B&W speakers seem to be regarded as some of the best affordable speakers you can buy |
