Hello guys, I have recently bought Plasma Television and I want to buy 2.0 speakers for this. What I want in a sound is that the vocals should be excellent which do not distort a bit even on full volume of the speakers, Second thing I need is clarity, it should be awesome in clarity and the third thing I need is bass, bass should be deep and punchy but not at all boomy, I hate boomy bass. Treble should be smooth.
My budget is between Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 20,000 (Try to lower it as much as possible):huh:
If you can spend about 3~4k more, you can build a pretty good amp + a pair of bookshelves combo. The most widely used combo in this aspect is the Norge 2060 amp (desi; costs about 7k ex-Mumbai) and a pair of bookshelves from Wharfedale/PSB/Tannoy. This setup can be further expanded to a 5.1, if you buy additional speakers and a good AVR.
If budget is a constraint, get the Audioengine A5. This one has an amp onboard so you need not connect an additional amp but the downside is they are more suited for near-field listening meaning, the SQ takes a hit the farther you sit from the setup. I would advise you to pick up the former.
Wharfedale 10.1 is cheap( comparatively ) and has good performance. yeah that is what i suggest also.
but instead of a a stereo amp i suggest you get an AVR first hand as you are buying it for TV ( movies and games), you can buy speakers and sub later and upgrade it to a 5.1 setup.
if listening to music is your first priority then go ahead with norge2060
so to sum it up(IMO), get:
if getting for TV (music and games)
Good bookshelves at around 10-15K
AVR ..15-25K
..later you can upgrade to a 5.1 without discarding any equipment.
Guys, Which one will be the best according to my sound preferences and needs:
M-Audio BX5a Deluxe
Swans D1080MKII08
Audioengine A5
M-Audio AV40
Audioengine A2

^You don’t seem to understand. Would you be sitting close to your display when you are watching something on it like how you sit close to a PC monitor? Whatever you have listed are suited for near-field listening. Akin to what happens in studios. They won’t cut it.
