Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: How to choose a budget......

I live in an area where it's very difficult to audition equipment as well, so I feel your pain. Therefore, I try to pay attention to the tendencies and products each reviewer likes or dislikes and see if their impressions coincide with my experiences. For example, Stereophile's JA tends to like compression driver speakers such as the K2 while KR has had a B&W reference system forever. I have JBL's and B&W's so it appears our sensibilities coincide, therefore I'll pay a bit more attention to their recommendations.

As for your budget and speakers, all anyone can give you is an opinion and in this hobby, the only opinion that matters is yours. That said, I saw a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1's on USAudiomart that might work for you. I'm listening to a pair in my office as I type this, so color me biased. I'm a big fan of Albert Von Schweikert's designs over the years and find they work spectacularly well with rock and female vocals. Google it and you'd find a ton of reviews.

Hope that helps and good luck!
