If you rent a stateroom on the Queen Mary, you'll find it comes equipped with Linn equipment to enjoy on your world cruise Also, the Prince of Whales just had his castle upgraded with Linn equipment. Or.... if you buy a limited edition Aston Martin Vanquish edition, you can have it equipped with the only car audio that Linn Hi-Fi has ever offered. Take a look...

Edit: It looks like the first car only offers the entry level audio package. The second car, however, has the 950 watt masterpiece that I would simply give my left arm to hear

Hey. I would check out ED speakers. There known for there subwoofers but there HT is excellent. For the price, they dont inflate, or charge too much more that it costs to build it.

I have the 6T6 as my center, and 5T5 on my sides. They are great. Of corse I have heard better, as the upper mids seem to be lacking, but the bass and highs are good.

If your looking for good buget speakers, try the 6t6 or 5t5s. If you have the money, get the towers. Dont get me wrong though, when I say buget it only means there under a grand. They compair to many in that price range.

http://www.edesignaudio.com/index.php?cPath=2_42

Elemental is critizied heavily by many, and are not considered upper end audio. Of corse there cheap, but for good reasons. They are made to be affordable, but they done skimp out on components.

Take this speaker for instance.

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...8&catid=10553#

Same price, but look at the weight. 4.5kg. If I ever saw a speaker that light, it must be made of paper. They often use 1/4 wood, cheap crossovers, and the drivers are horrible. No wonder is only goes down to 78hz, which for a center is not good.

Not dissing all energy speakers, there upper line are preety nice, but they seem to be more of a "look good" company.

If you were in canada, I would let you come listen to them, but was your not well :P ya.

lol... they can be used for stereo.... think about it for 2 min :P. Front speakers are essentially what ?, bookshelf speakers are mainly used for what ? Floor standing speakers are usually what ?

Yes used in 2 channel stereo is the answer :P

There is no such thing as speakers that are build for HT use, that can not be used in stereo, and vice versa. Well there are but meh.
