home theater speaker suggestion

[mtbmichael]

Today, I just received my Onkyo 605 receiver and I think I also need new speakers. My current speakers consist of the JBL TLX series as fronts/center and Polk R 40 as rears. yeah, nothing much.

Does anyone have any experience with Aperion or Axiom speakers? I'd like something on the warmer side, but still accurate with minimal coloring.

thanks.

You should PM David (Kish Me). He has a AV company and could answer any questions you may have. Maybe even the ever popular STR discount.

The Aperion and Axiom are both good speakers, I would also recommend looking at paradigm, excellent imaging Speakers.

how would the Aperion and Axiom sound in comparison to the jbl and polk besides sounding better. warmer? harsher highs?

so far i've listened to Def Tech bipolar towers- pretty good, boston- pretty good, and B&W 805- i thought they were harsh, maybe my ears are messed up or something.

I can only tell you how my old L7 JBL sound next to my paradigm, the JBL sounds flat and requires a lot of Pre amp to get it to image right compared to the paradigm’s, so I would imagine the same would be true with the Aperion and Axiom, all three speakers paradigm, Aperion and Axiom are in a higher class. It’s like putting XTR on a Huffy.

I was never a fan of boston, to plastic sounding to me.

I've never heard most of the speakers mentioned. I have B&W 603s and I've always liked the way they sound. When I bought my system I spent a long time looking at (listening to) a Rel sub. They might be what you're looking for if you can find a dealer here. www.rel.net. If you're not familiar with certain speakers a visit to the demo rooms at a good dealer should solve the problem. If they know what they're doing they can set up various speakers side by side so you can compare them on the spot.

Ooh...Ooh!!

You could always consider rounding out your R40 rears with Polk all the way around.

Wonderful imaging since all the speakers are matched.

Wait a sec...

I know where you could get some!! And you'd save a hell of a lot of money!!
