So my birthday is right around the corner, and I'm going to ask for a nice set of bookshelf speakers. I'm sticking with 2.1 right now, since I'm in a tiny dorm room and 5.1 would serve no purpose. I'll probably upgrade to 3.1 before the end of the school year though. Anyways, here's my current setup:
Onkyo TX-SR501 receiver
Velodyne VX-10 subwoofer
2 JBL home theatre in a box speakers from this set: Link
I'm running 14 gauge copper speaker wire to my mains. Receiver says it puts out 65 watts per channel I believe, but I'm only using 2 channels, so I dunno if that changes.
I'm looking for something in the $150-250 range. To give you an idea of what kind of sound I like, I absolutely LOVE my Grado SR80's. That kind of sound is perfect for me. I listen to a lot of music, mostly Beatles, alternative rock, some punk/ska. I do like to crank it once in a while just to impress my friends, but the subwoofer can pretty much take care of the room shaking. I do appreciate good, tight bass as I sometimes listen to jazz and I like to be able to hear the walking bass lines.
Please recommend me a pair of bookshelves that can be ordered online. It's okay if they're a bit over my price range, because I can more than likely find a good deal on whatever is recommended.
