Moving to a new, larger apartment that will actually be more than one room, so I am going to get a second pair of speakers for the new "rec room" or whatever this room will turn into.
For my home theater/main stereo I have a large stereo pair of Klipsch (I forget the model, but they're the ones with the dual 8" woofers) and a center and surround channels (may be time to get a subwoofer now, too)...
For this other room I am thinking about something relatively small, kind of bookshelf type size, but with a big, accurate sound. Probably will be more for background music than main listening.
I haven't really bought many pairs of speakers and am not very well versed in anything other than the large consumer brands. Something like the Bose 301 came to mind for this purpose, but again, that's not a very inventive choice. Also, it may be how he does sets his amp, but my buddy has two of these and IMHO they sound terrible.
Any ideas?
