for 2000$, im not buying polk

10/31/2006 7:23:54 PM

research and build your own.


or go to the Parts Express/HTGuide/madisound message board and see if anyone would build some for you.

but yeah, plenty of stuff will be better than those.

i highly doubt that any random fucker could build TOP notch speakers - there's a lot of math and simulation that goes into that shit

10/31/2006 8:52:10 PM

I doubt they are the best, but I stand by my MTX Monitor 10s

Woofer- 10" powder coated composite pulp cone

Midrange- 6-1/2" Polypropylene cone, butyl rubber surround

Tweeter- 19mm dome, ferrofluid cooled

Frequency Response: 30Hz-20 kHz

Impedance: 8 ohms nominal

Power Handling: 200 Watts RMS/400 Watts peak music

Sensitivity: 92dB 1W/1M

I have a set of lsi15s. They are incredible. There is nothing better in that price range, go buy some now. Anyone who denies they are incredible speakers for the price either hasnt heard them or doesnt know anything about sound.

for $2000 they had better come with a live band attached to the other end.

10/31/2006 10:04:43 PM

i just want some fostex rear loaded horn speakers. $ under 300

Yeah hahaha, time to break out the golden interconnects and class A amplifier

i thought about these....they are in the same price range but they are really the bottom end of this line and the reviews are not that good for my music type....

the titanic is nice, but some of adire's stuff is probably in the same price range and better.


and be sure to get some kind of subwoofer equalizer, because room response is going to be a bitch

seriously, for personal use (i.e. not studio/business), there's no sense in $2000 towers

but it's your cash to burn

there's an entire section at avsforum.com dedicate to speaks in this price range, they would know

11/1/2006 8:28:14 AM

in the lower 1000+ range there is a lot of quality range. Once you start getting over 1500-2000 the difference is much smaller. I spent a long time in that tweeter store in crossroads, and if you are an audiophile good speakers are a must.

11/1/2006 9:33:17 AM

Dude

For serious sound, there is no upper limit on speakers.

People spend more on this stuff then twice the cost of my car.

[Edited on November 1, 2006 at 10:12 AM. Reason : by the way, don't go by reviews on crutchfield.]

11/1/2006 10:09:12 AM

what source are you going to be feeding these speakers?

11/1/2006 11:44:09 AM

= gimmick

I've played with those speakers and i was un impressed.
not to mention i'm not buying speakers that can shock someone that casually places their hand on the top ( go to tweeter... do it you'll get a static snap every time )

11/1/2006 12:10:02 PM

whats the big deal? im honestly curious, i know nothing about high end audio so this is intriguing

11/1/2006 12:27:43 PM

basically once you get above a certain point with speakers, the human ear can not detect the difference in sound quality unless the speakers are put side by side and switched back and forth several times. One thing that does make a difference after a certain point is power. But pound for pound spending more than 2000 on speakers is just plain stupid unless you have cash to burn.

11/1/2006 1:12:24 PM

^^^

what did you honestly expect from an electrostatic speaker. how often do your guests "casually " touch your speakers?

saying they dont sound good to you is one thing, but bitching about the reason it works is drunknloaded retarded

11/1/2006 6:44:10 PM

I heard some martin logan's at NOW (tweeter) a while back and they were amazing. I can't vouch for the low end, but why didn't you like them?

11/1/2006 6:55:18 PM

I like Paradigms

11/1/2006 7:48:00 PM

great googly-moogly...$2000 on speakers? damn, you kids have more money than i to blow on stuff you don't need

11/1/2006 7:49:10 PM

hahaha yeah i know they're static but you think there would be a way to isolate it a litte better
that shit hurts.

11/1/2006 8:47:44 PM

dayton driver are a good start

partsexpress is a good site for building your own

get infinity tweeters if you can

11/3/2006 4:15:10 AM

i would say buy quality drivers i.e. morel, vifa, scanspeak, seas, etc.

and get a really quality crossover made for them

make your own enclosure, keeping in mind that perfect rectangular prisms and cubes are NOT the ideal enclosure shapes

put a little time into it and you can have an outstanding pair of speakers for WAY less than $2000
