- Well, as the title says, I'm looking for speakers in the $ 600 - $700
- range. The type of music that I listen to is mostly rock such as
- Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Supertramp etc. I also enjoy blues and soul very
- much and I'm trying to get to know that type of music better. Also, since
- these speakers are going to be an integral part of my living room, which
- consists of mostly modern furniture, I'm looking for floor standing, black
- speakers. I guess smaller speakers with stands would be OK, but I definitely
- don't want oak or wood grain speakers (my fiancee would kill me :-) ).
-
- Anyhow, up to now I've listened to the following:
-
- Boston Acoustics t930
- DCM TF600
- MB Quart Three's
- Infinity Reference 5
- NHT 1.8
- Celestion 15
-
- Unfortunately, all of these were in different audio stores and show rooms,
- so I couldn't AB any of them. I liked the NHT's a lot. I was surprised that
- they had such powerful bass. However all the other ones sounded good too.
- The DCM's had a very pleasing overall sound, the Boston Acoustics seemed
- very smooth. I wasn't too impressed wit the Infinity's though.
-
- Any comments? Any other brands I should look into? Right now, as it stands,
- I would by the NHT's. Are they good speakers? Please let me know, and I'll
- post the answers if there is demand for it.
-
- -Thanks,
-
