aculous Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I mean it really depends. If I were you I would go full DIY with a proven kit from Parts Express, Madisound, GR Research or Speaker Hardware (the bill fitzmaurice kits for home audio) You get more satisfaction of ownership with something you build yourself but you need space and tools. If you don't want to go that route look at Definitive Technologies, Klipsch, Energy, Axiom, Dayton Audio. Def Tech are great and you can get a used set for decent prices that is more bass oriented. Other than Energy or Dayton I would buy used, people get rid of perfectly good floorstanders all the time. But I think a flat pack kit that you build would be the best. Some of them come with assembled crossovers so you end up with a great speaker without any fab work. Thats my suggestions. Also look at studio monitors at guitar center or some pro audio outlets. Get a active set with a 6.5 or 8" driver and I think you will be happy. If you are going to be doing home theater stuff with them however make sure you have a dedicated center channel. Most mixes, dolby/thx are pretty center channel heavy. I know you said floorstanders but just throwing it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcocagne3 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I have been looking into Klipsch a little bit the. I like the vegas but i was stupid when i got my receiver and didn't get one that was 4 ohm stable so running them on it caused it to fail over time, thankfully it was with in the warranty period. I have also been tossing around the idea of just getting a new receiver that will support the vegas that I currently have, but i just cant decide which is my best option.
