The Cerwin-Vega aren't as great, but they do not sound like the complete other end of the spectrum either. Again, I have super limited experience with speakers, and it's just one of those topics (like the Summit-Fi of Head-Fi) that makes me feel utterly dumb, lol.

Ah perfect. Ok, I will PM you some links to some ebay auctions (I don't mind of other members want the links, I just don't want some random googler to end up getting into a retarded bidding war). So long as they stay below 150, I suggest you get either of them, and go with a cheaper amp like the T 30. One of the links will be to some book shelf speakers that I own. Even if you buy them and decide that you don't like them for some reason, I will be HAPPY to buy them from you for the same price and postage and begin making a 5.1 audiophile system smile.gif. The other I have spent a lot of time listening to, and it is every so slightly better, but they are 4 times the size.

As for learning about speakers....

You want the amp and pre amp.

And then you want 2 of these

Everything else on the market is simply trying to get close to these things for a lower price smile.gif

The amp and pre amp in the video is a western electric amp and pre amp. Western Electric = win and nothing but win. There are several clubs in japan where you have to pay an entrance fee just to come in and listen to western electric stuff.

The speaker that is taking up the whole wall is a western electric horn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFX392pNeiA

Here is a better example of a western electric horn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbiUzD9dVtY

WHY DIDN'T THEY EVER MAKE HEADPHONES!?!?!?!?!?! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
