We do, however, have an expert on budget speakers. I saw fewer 200$ subwoofers being recommended than the bookshelves. And what are your music preferences? Not all speakers will handle everything equally. Two more important questions where are you? Not all brands are available everywhere. Having said that, it still holds true that bookshelves usually cost less, so you could find a decent sounding pair for less money than towers. The one you have is pretty good and it is 5.1, which is what you're going after. Oh, I see, you're OK with spending less, eh? Saying you'd like to be able to hear everything going on in a song and ending with perhaps I shouldn't buy anything and just add a sub is some distance to cross.Īnyway, now we know your receiver is not going to be a problem for some time. Although maybe I should use those for now and just get a sub? I'm perfectly ok with spending less money. I do have two old (from the late 80's/early 90's) Fisher bookshelf speakers from a shelf system, but from what I've read so far it seems Fisher never made very good speakers. I was under the impression that floor towers were a lot better than bookshelves, but if that's not the case I can also look for bookshelves and a sub. I'm guessing I'd be missing the low end, but I'm not sure what else. I realize that won't get me anything earth-shattering, but that's ok for now.Īs far as my Teatros go, I don't really know what those numbers mean. Your are correct, $200 is the upper limit of what I'm willing to spend at the moment.

I had planned on using the 6.5 as a center, although I don't know if that's a good idea or not. Let me clarify my original post: I have ONE Teatro 6.5 and TWO Teatro 4.5's, so I'm looking at adding two more speakers to get me to 5 speakers total, and then a subwoofer later. Sensitivity averages 89 dB from 500 Hz to 2 kHz.-AJ"īy this sentence alone I'd say you're in a right place. Impedance reaches a minimum of 3.13 ohms at 295 Hz and a phase angle of -38.41 degrees at 136 Hz. The -3dB point is at 104 Hz, and the -6dB point is at 83 Hz. An average of axial and (+/-15 degree) horizontal responses measures +2.0/-3.8 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. "On-axis response of the Teatro 6.5 center measures +2.2/-4.2 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. If these measurements have been done correctly, you're missing a decent portion of the music with those Phase Technology Teatro's. Perhaps there's something else out there for you. It will be much easier for people here to help if they know your budget limits.

It's a good thing you're planing to invest in speakers. If you want more channels, you'll most probably need a different receiver. (if you say music is your main interest, center speaker is probably the least needed) You could consider going for two floor-standers for front left and right and ditch the front bookshelves, keep only the back two for surround. Perhaps one thing only you listed four bookshelf speakers you're using already and from your post it would seem you're planing to keep them and add two floor-standers and a sub. Judging by this Audioholics review of your Yamaha receiver, you should have no problems there for now. Is the 200$ from your examples the upper limit? I can almost feel the question coming so I might just ask myself what is exactly a tight budget? It's not the same for everyone.

Will that be enough to handle the system I'm trying to put together? I'm on a tight budget so I'd like to make the receiver work, but am willing to upgrade it if need be.Ĭlick to expand.By this sentence alone I'd say you're in a right place. I'm leaning toward the Infinity but I have no rational reason for it so I was hoping maybe you guys with your knowledge and experience could help me figure out which of these might be best, assuming they're all in good working order.Īlso, I have a Yamaha RX-V377 receiver. They all seem to get good reviews although I read somewhere that a lot of people feel Cerwin Vega speakers aren't that great, but I don't know how true that is.

Infinity Kappa Series ii with matching stands - $90 NOTE: I'm currently only looking at used speakers at the moment. Here are my options (all vintage as far as I know): I currently have a Phase Technology Teatro 6.5 and two Phase Technology Teatro 4.5 speakers and want to add a set of floor speakers (and eventually a sub if needed), and there are a few for sale locally that have caught my eye. Basically, I like to be able to hear everything going on in a song.

It will be strictly for music right now (will add a TV for movies eventually), and I'm interested in (forgive me if I'm not using the proper terminology here) clarity, accuracy, and balance. I'm looking to set up a home audio system in a fairly large living room. Let me start by saying that the extent of my knowledge when it comes to audio equipment is subwoofer = lows, midrange = mids, tweeter = highs.
