OK so this is a little vague but basically I am looking to replace my big bulky Technics stereo speakers with some tall/slim/black ones to go either side of the tv (flat screen 32") but not to be taller than the tv if possible. I want to use them as speakers for both music and tv/dvd so my question is... would a home cinema set up be good enough for listening to music or are they designed more to work as a 3D surround system only for movies/tv etc?
Leading on from this... I want to spend less than
I have been a stereo geek for many years and unless you go for a nice set of floor standers AV speakers are pretty poor at rendering HIFI. I used to run a set of 5 way floor standers but the advent of my daughter soon put paid the that so I migrated to a set of kefs and it has never been the same  .Stavros
Forgive my ignorance but could 'floor standers' be placed on a tv stand next to the tv like this but taller/slimmer speakers... http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS7_eiaODz-SLbMDJQ8l6tweK6aTR5cYabBGKC7WWyU8T0MT6Q&t=1&usg=__FiYA-F1HR1BJs301gNKd3siWNH0= or do they have do be on the floor?

you have got a set of book shelves there and they are perfect for you type of application. Floor standers are just bigger version of what you have already got they normally have 3-5 drivers in them. unfortunately if you stuck a set of floor standers on top of that cabinet you will more then likely get a harsh vibration when you crack up the volume as the floor standers would resonate into the cabinet. many, many, many moons ago I used to have 2 X 5 driver floor standers and I had to have some marble plinths made as they woudl rattle the windows at full tilt. If you want to maintain sound quality I would advise against going for a sub satellite package. they are ok for movies but they suck big time when it comes to music. Stavros
Hmmm... not sure what to do now! This is the hifi I have and I just want to replace the speakers for something that can fit next to the tv if possible. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5RrAUYdSGW0ra_rQ4yTY7rIi2XMh64UzGvurmULwUC-FQQJE&t=1&usg=__DYcizYPIN5pJVbZlWEJwXheMdWo= Secure Card Processing from |
