[QUOTE="Sidetone, post: 3965414, member: 585015"] Well I'd love to say its the former but for right now I'm thinking the latter is where I need to be. I can always upgrade down the road. Years ago I had a set of Boston Acoustics driven by an ADS P120, if I remember correctly I saved about $100 in not going with ADS speakers. They were almost as good though. I don't know if something that good is more than it was back then or less? Think I paid $250 for the Boston Acoustics. Absolutely nothing I've heard at Best Buy or Circuit City had that full range crystal clarity to them. I didn't listen to anything from Polk's high end yet, the CC I was in didn't have them wired. The Infinity components at BB sounded the best I suppose but not amazing and they were like $250. The treble wasn't clean it was harsh. When I look around at even medium end 5.1 Home based surround systems, say the polk 6800, which is only a 10" powered sub, 100 watts and a set of satelites, I'm like...that's what I want. That level of fidelity. I almost feel like the manufacturers and big stores are really just pushing the angle, that as long as the diameter of your subwoofers exceeds that of your cars rims, you've hit the high fidelity threshold. What happened to high end treble? [/QUOTE]
