Hi!!
I just did an upgrade of my TV with a 43" flat led screen.
I've been using the optical output of my box for a long time now to feed an amplifier and a big pair of old floorstanding speakers, but I think it's a bit over the top, as we're usually sitting about 7 feet away of the screen. I have an excellent sweet spot right in the middle, but not very convenient when we are 2 watching .....
I'm considering buying a pair of passive speakers, as my electronics (dac + amplifier) is good enough to me, and I don't want to go into the home theater alley.
The TV screen is sitting on a wooden cabinet, about 5 inch in front of the wall.
What would you suggest for a good couple of 2 or 3 way (preferably ?) speakers in my case : bookshelf, monitoring, floorstanders, closed, vented ?
Best possible sound quality of course, not necessarily too expensive ... nor too big ....
New or used .....
Given that the back of the speakers will be almost against the wall, and about 3 feet away from each other of course, and that I only need a reasonable sound level.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
JM
