Thanks for the replys, folks!
>> That room IS pretty big for the M3s,
Should fill the room better than our current $45.00 "boom box".
(Randy) >>Or, are you thinking you would like to have a surround setup for some home theater experience?
Right now, just looking for music, being that we don't even have a TV! Does having the rear speakers also enhance music listening?
Also, thanks so much for the warehouse tip. I just ordered the M3ti's, and the 10% brought the price back down closer to the $275/pair price mentioned in the older editorial reviews of these speakers.
I'm looking at a Pioneer VSX-1015TX reciever right now at around $400 that looks pretty good. (unfortunately, i'm trying to keep the total system to around $1500.) Not sure though, the 1015 sounds like its designed for home theater. Would it be better to get a reciever designed specifically for music?
Thanks again,
Mike.
