Looking for advice on speakers for TV
I'll be getting an HDTV in the next month or two. I'm
leaning towards the 61" Samsung DLP set. Since I'm already going to have an XBox 360 and other equipment connected, I'd like to avoid getting a home theater system, and just get two decent sounding amplified speakers. I read that you need to connect an amplifier to the audio out of the TV, and can't simply connect regular speakers. Can someone please recommend some decent amplified speakers for this? -Thanks |

If you are worried about size and complexity, why not try this: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/YSP1/idx_ysp1000.htm |

Most good amplified speakers come in the form of monitors, with reduced bass. There may be something available, but why limit youself on a powered speaker. Maybe you just mean halfway decent, like in the form of "computer" speakers ?? greg |

Looking for advice on speakers for TV
Good quality self powered speakers, those which contain ther own amplification, and are known as "Active" speakers, can cost many thousands of dollars, You might need to put the house in hock, or sell a couple of kids.. Makes that come to mind are Martin Logan and Bang and Olufsen's Beolab 5 at $30.000 a pair. But to be realistic, go to a dedecated Hi-Fi store, where you can discuss your requirements, and audition what's available in your price range. Keep right away from the local department store, where the salesman will be selling washing machines next week. And to the fool, that wrote this crap,, mate, take a powder.

I am not sure what your price range is, but for active speakers I'd suggest looking at some pro gear. Mackie in particular has a good reputation. Personally I wouldn't do what you are suggesting, but maybe you are just not ready for surround sound, sub-woofers etc. |
