i just wanted to coment on the warfdales...the ones that you can get for a little over $200 bucks a pair are blone away by the $230 dollar paradigm titans. my friends dad has a pair of the warfdale signature series limeted edition speakers (or somthing like that) and my friends titans sound much better.....we both agreed.
just thought i would add my thoughts.

WOW! I hooked up my Magnepan MMG speakers this afteroon. Thay are absolutely outstanding! The sound is not boxed in and directional; the sound stages across the entire room, especially when you are in the sweet spot.

Do yourself a favor and buy some Magnepas MMGs to star out with- you can trade up to some larger ones with no value loss from Magnepan. You will be sold!

I know that I'm jumping in hear a little late; but----

Peanut and others: If you're not adverse to puchasing previously listened to gear, you might want to check out the classified listings at www.audiogon.com . I've been happy with what I've bought there.

fly guy mentioned the new Meadowlark Swifts. While I haven't heard this new speaker, I've been very impressed with the previous entry-level floorstanding Meadowlark speaker -- the Kestrel. In addition to being well reviewed, they just sound good. There is a pair at audiogon for 699 and a hotrod version listed for 820.

I've also seen where someone had a full Monitor Audio Silver setup for 900 (included 5i's, 3's and a 10Center). I'm driving a pair of the 5i's with my 1050 and am very pleased with both music and movies.

Go and listen to as many speakers as you can and have fun doing it.

Chris

AGAIN, THANKS FOR SUGGESTIONS, ...I am impressed with the Paradigms. Looks like I'm going to start with a pair, haven't decided on which model but I am going to take advantage of the retailer's trade-in policy, I'll spend the $700-1000 and then double my investment within the year. The retailer also stocks Martin Logans, (talk about great staging quality)...but that is another story!!!

i deffinatly support high4head on the use of silver 5i's. i also have a pair, and you can usually find a used pair on audiogon for around $500. they really are a steal.

Oooh, very nice -- was that SVS a passive or powered sub? I've had my Studio 60's for over a year and a half now (still enjoy the heck out of them), and added a 25-31PCi earlier this year. Good combination. Merry Christmas!

I have not seen any comments regarding the edge audio (aperion) speaker systems available internet only. I am seriously considering giving this system a try. Have any of you experts out there had any experience with them or know of someone who has? Appreciate the help!
