Two years ago I decided my ten year old cube based speaker system was no longer cutting it as a home theater system nor as a music system. It was time for a serious upgrade. I started to save my pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Since this was the first time I had considered high end audio loudspeakers, I figured I had better learn something about loudspeakers before investing any significant dollars. I took to the internet and was just amazed by the number and different types of loudspeakers that are available to the public. After reading countless articles and reviews in addition to visiting some dealers and big box stores, it became apparent to me I had to come up with a set of criteria in order to come up with a manageable list of speakers to consider. I determined that the speakers were going to be used 80% of the time for 2-channel music (no subwoofer) and 20% of the time for home theater. For aesthetic purposes, I wanted floor standing speakers made of wood. My family room is my listening room and I had only one option to place the speakers so the speakers had to have a small footprint, no bigger than 8”W x 11”L. As I began finding speakers that fit my criteria, I was discovering that center channel speakers can also be quite large so I added another criterion that the center channel could be no larger than 8”H x 22”W, once again due to space constraints. My over all plan was to purchase the front speakers and center channel with my current budget and add a subwoofer and the surrounds at a latter date.
