| Monitors - Where to Start?
I'm sure that many of you have preceded me in this next step of my HT evolution. I've come to the beginning of my search for the great "hi-fi" monitors.
Right now I have Polk RTi28 mains and a Polk CSi30 center. They sound fine, but they're definately mid-fi in terms of definition and dynamics.
I'm at the very beginning of putting together a list of speakers to audition and I'd appreciate your recommendations.
My HT is in my living room, which dictates less than ideal speaker placement. The TV is in a corner and my bookshelf speakers flank it. Way to close too the wall for tower speakers (right?) and I think that front firing monitor speakers are what I want. I don't want ports firing out the back into the wall and corner. Since I set the mains to "small" and crossover to the sub at 80 Hz, I don't think chuffing is going to be an issue with front ports.
$500 for a pair? $1000? I don't want to think about upgrading again anytime soon, so I want to do it right.
What do you recommend for killer HT? If I could sum up what I'm looking for in one word it would be "Dramatic."
P.S. Sonnie - I noticed you just replaced some PSB Images. Any comments on the performance (or shortcomings) of those?
