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?
