The -3dB point is at 104 Hz, and the -6dB point is at 83 Hz. An average of axial and (+/-15 degree) horizontal responses measures +2.0/-3.8 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. 'On-axis response of the Teatro 6.5 center measures +2.2/-4.2 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. If these measurements have been done correctly, you're missing a decent portion of the music with those Phase Technology Teatro's. Perhaps there's something else out there for you. It will be much easier for people here to help if they know your budget limits. It's a good thing you're planing to invest in speakers. If you want more channels, you'll most probably need a different receiver. (if you say music is your main interest, center speaker is probably the least needed) You could consider going for two floor-standers for front left and right and ditch the front bookshelves, keep only the back two for surround. Perhaps one thing only you listed four bookshelf speakers you're using already and from your post it would seem you're planing to keep them and add two floor-standers and a sub. Judging by this Audioholics review of your Yamaha receiver, you should have no problems there for now. Is the 200$ from your examples the upper limit? I can almost feel the question coming so I might just ask myself what is exactly a tight budget? It's not the same for everyone. Will that be enough to handle the system I'm trying to put together? I'm on a tight budget so I'd like to make the receiver work, but am willing to upgrade it if need be.Ĭlick to expand.By this sentence alone I'd say you're in a right place. I'm leaning toward the Infinity but I have no rational reason for it so I was hoping maybe you guys with your knowledge and experience could help me figure out which of these might be best, assuming they're all in good working order.Īlso, I have a Yamaha RX-V377 receiver. They all seem to get good reviews although I read somewhere that a lot of people feel Cerwin Vega speakers aren't that great, but I don't know how true that is. Infinity Kappa Series ii with matching stands - $90 NOTE: I'm currently only looking at used speakers at the moment. Here are my options (all vintage as far as I know): I currently have a Phase Technology Teatro 6.5 and two Phase Technology Teatro 4.5 speakers and want to add a set of floor speakers (and eventually a sub if needed), and there are a few for sale locally that have caught my eye. Basically, I like to be able to hear everything going on in a song. It will be strictly for music right now (will add a TV for movies eventually), and I'm interested in (forgive me if I'm not using the proper terminology here) clarity, accuracy, and balance. I'm looking to set up a home audio system in a fairly large living room.

Let me start by saying that the extent of my knowledge when it comes to audio equipment is subwoofer = lows, midrange = mids, tweeter = highs.
