what are the best speakers?

In my experience, there is no 'Best' speaker. It depends on the qualities of your hearing, the room acoustics, the kinds of media being listened to, etc. Find a dealer that lets you try out speakers not only in the showroom, but in your home, and listen to a variety of media, CDs of various types, TVs, Blu Ray.

I use the Infinity Primus series. I have the c351 center speaker, the p163 floor standing for fronts, the p153 for book shelves. I have a 7.1 system, I still use my onkyo speakers for surround, and the onkyo for base. I will soon be purchasing the Infinity base, and the p143 for surround. The Infinity series are by far the best, I have tried Polk,and Klipsch,they don

It depends on your room size. I have the Polk Audio Polk Audio TL250 Speakers for a smaller room and the Polk Audio TL350 in my other home. They both sound incredible !! But you have to add a subwoofer to get the most incredible experience in home theater. Also when playing music from Pandora, they sound like loud speakers. Have no compaints. They are of great quality sound. I have an ear for good quality suround sound and with the Onkyo receiver, you won't regret it. Good luck !!

Well I have a set of aperion verus forte speakers. I love how they sound with my 818. Crystal clear. I have them in a large bedroom. I didn't have the cash for the grands. They're pretty back ordered though. They also have an awesome return/upgrade policy. Aperionaudio.com. Can't say for other brands though since I haven't heard others.

I don't know what the "best speakers" are and probably couldn't afford them. What I use and find to be totally adequate are NHT (Now Hear This) speakers. I use the Evolution M6 for front and center plus wall mounted L5's for the surround. So, I am only running 5.1 from my TX-NR818. Possibly someday I will expand it but I would suggest you check out the NHT. I got mine off of ebay for about half price. Great deal. Hope that helps. Alternatively, I would spend some time in a listening room of a high end home theater store and try out all the different speakers, with the TX-NR818, if possible.

I think the best bang for your buck in a top quality speaker, is Paradigm. I have the Studio 40's and I am very happy with them. You can get better speakers but you will have to pay double what the Paradigms' cost, which is about 700.00 each, but in my opinion they are hard to beat. Check'em out.

They don't even come close, and cost more. Hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

GoldenEar Triton II speakers are awesome with my Onkyo TX-NX717 receiver. A bit pricey at 3000 for L/R 500 for Center and another 500 for back surrounds. But at this price point I do not think you will find a better option!

That depends largely on your budget and usage. A great resource are the forums at http://www.avsforum.com/

Hi,We recommend the Seismic Audio Shockwave4000 power amp. It has the power needed to get the maximum performance from these speakers.

I would have to agree with Travis B. I will say these are really good speakers.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

honestly you can use any speakers you choose. You can go from regular computer speakers to big 3 foot yamaha or pioneer speakers. It's all what you prefer and how loud you want it to be when you are mixing your music. Hope this helps.

The MS-62C are one of the most capable, high quality and loud speakers you can get. You have to amp them or you won't know what they were made for. These are thunder sound speakers, not cheap replacement speakers...

These are literally some of the what speakers you can buy for every situation. Perform excellent indoors and outdoors highly recommended.

Try CNET reviews and here is a link that provides some of the specs. http://speakerreviews.info/polk-audio-rm85-5-channel-home-theater-system-reviews/ These are really good sounding speakers.

Not really required but a good amplifier will help deliver the most from these speakers. The amp will provide clarity to each channel and define the sound quality, best answer... Use an amp for the best quality sound from these capable speakers.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

My advice would be not to drive these speakers to maximum wattage. However, these remarkable bookshelf speakers are the best I've heardover 40 yrs of trying to find a certain quality and would think that they would be very adequate in a multi-speaker array, ie 7.1.

Buy speakers with high sensitivity. This amp clips easily under heavy load. So get 8 ohm nominal speakers. Klipsch may be a good starting point. Maybe zu audio, but they are pricier

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff

I used Polk speakers but that's because I'm a long time user of them and don't mind paying the higher price. I know others that have used different speakers and are just as happy

Speakers are probably a good idea, depending on what you use it for. The internal ones are decent, but not the best. As far as which ones are compatible, I'm not sure. I run mine through a stereo, which has worked well for me with my set-up.

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

I Choose the Linn Majic 109's. I am very happy with them. With the Linn speaker you will never get tired of listening. I think I should have also auditioned the Dynaudio Excite X16's, for comparison. Good Luck
