Re: What are the Best Speakers a $1000 could get?

Hi All,

I am a total rookie as far as Speaker system is concerned. I do not know where to find nor what to look for in order to get the best deal out there. But I know exactly what I want out of the budget that I currently have to spend for speakers.

I've got $1,000 and I am looking for the best speakers system that money can buy. I currently have a Denon Receiver AVR- 2805 that I am looking to hook it up with great quality speakers and a sub. I am very interested in a super quality sub. The one that produces a good-clean BOOM without spitting out NOISES that piss neighbors.

My needs are mostly for watching movies, listening to musics, and last but not least, for singing or karaoke.

So folks, I need your help. I believe I've come to the right place and forum here that I can get some great inputs and real recommendations.

Thank you all in advance and I look forward to your precious info.

If the Marantz has a multi-channel input, I would use it as an amplifier only. AVRs like this Marantz and your Denon are known for less than rated power output when multiple channels are driven simultaneously. Using the Marantz to power, say, just the front L/R channels is a good cheap way to get more juice for your speakers. And NHT speakers like-a da juice!

I JUST GOT AN OFFER FOR THOSE NHT SPEAKER SET, $900 WITHOUT THE RECEIVER.

I HAVEN'T MADE ANY COUNTER-OFFER YET BUT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD SYSTEM, IS IT A GOOD BUY? HOW MUCH IS THE FAIR-VALUE ASSUMING THAT THEY ARE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE?

FWIW, I think it best to buy amplification for speakers, not speakers for amplification. I'd see what the used market would get for your reciever and then consider starting over.

...isn't that the same thing, buying speakers for amps or vice versa? Why would one method be better than the other?

I'm thinking which ever way is taken, wouldn't the same criterias or needs still be in force?
