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.

Best speakers for $1000.00?Ask 100 people and you will get 100 different answers.You are the only one that can decide what is "best" for you.Example:Many folks rave about Thiel speakers.I find them too bright and hard on my ears.It's best if you can listen to speakers before you buy them.That being said,I have no place around here to audition any equipment.After a lot of research I bought my Tyler Acoustics without hearing them and couldn't be happier.I consider myself lucky.Take recomendations here and do some research and if at all possible,audition what interests you.Give a little more info on what you like in a speaker and you will get better responses.Good Luck.

you really never know ... there is the occasional SUPER deal that comes along but they usually only last for hours if not minutes in some cases

I picked up a $10,000 pair of speakers for $1700 inc shipping not too long ago!

makes it nearly impossible for a specific recommendation!

The advice to find something used on Audiogon is sound.

Try the 'Search' button on the A'Gon homepage, then, type in the first two digits of your zip code in "By Location" and you might find some used speakers in your area that you can demo before you buy.

I would look into DCM loudspeakers at this link:

The TFE-100 and 200 are both in your price range, offer high value for the dollar, and come with a trial period. If you don't like them, you're only out the shipping costs. They are easy to drive, so your AVR should work well with them. I can't promise you won't want a subwoofer, but the TFE-200s I heard didn't need one for music, IMHO.

Buying used is a great idea, money-wise, but if you don't like what you buy, you have to re-sell them and ship them. To me, the time and effort involved in doing that makes buying used speakers that I have not heard unappealing. Unless you go to a dealer showroom specifically to hear used speakers the retailer has for sale, I don't like the idea of abusing the dealer by listening to speakers on display and then buying elsewhere (i.e., Audiogon). Not looking to start a flame-war about dealer shortcomings, but this is something I would not personally be comfortable with.
