Quoted from Jason43:That's a loaded question that's going to get a different response from anyone you ask. Budget? Music style? Buying new/used? What reciever is driving them?
My advice is to head to an audio equipment store with some music samples and start test driving speakers.
Yes, good point. I hope you can tell i'm not an audio guy. Passionate about listening to music, but lack the knowledge of components that drive the sound.
At the moment I have Yamaha R-N303BL running some simple Knox LP1 Powered Bookshelf Speaker.
When I started I bought a decent receiver with a basic turntable/speaker combo.
So, my budget would be around $600-$700. However, depending on suggestions I could sit and save a little more. I also understand depending on the speaker choice my receiver may need to be replaced.
My taste of music is little of EVERYTHING. The desire would be how to buy a setup that can satisfy all genres well enough?
