You say you're on a budget but not how much you want to spend, so I apologize if I miss the mark. You could look for a used pair of NHT's for speakers - the 2.5i can be had for about $700, the 2.9's for about $1200. They're made to be within a few inches of a wall, so placement is easy. They will definitely play as loud as you want to take them, have a very satisfying low end for relatively inexpensive speakers. They're differently shaped which might be a plus or a minus to you. Also, they're probably not the best if you want to fill a living room and be walking around the house - more appropriate for sitting and listening.
Need some advice with new system
I am looking at purchasing a pair of adcom 565 monoblocks used at a local dealer. Being that my musical tastes are basically hard rock and heavy metal i am looking to move air. Also i am on a budget so i am as they say looking for the "Biggest Bang for the Buck". Anyone have any suggestions on a good preamp,cd player and speakers for this type of preference.Like to feel it in the chest. Yet trying to stay away from those nasty harsh highs.I had a set of Klipsh Chorus 2's about 5 years ago and the highs were way to bright but the bass was descent.
