Stereo Floor Speakers

I'm putting together a stereo system (with phonograph/CD/cassette/TV set, etc.) and would like some opinions on good sounding speaker brands. I understand I won't know for sure unless I listen to them myself but, I'd like to know what any of you might have bought and enjoy using.

BIC Acoustotech HT-75 Towers: $280 for the pair!! These are an example of speakers that sound 10 times better than Bose, but cost one tenth the price. Your choice.

This is a picture compilation of the new Rega RS 5 floor standing speakers. They are shown in cherry and retail for $1595.00 a pair.

Is it just the cable I am using (like one for an ipod), like maybe one of the wires is severed or something, or is there some setup on my cpu that is messed up.

Both speakers work when playing music over the laptop's speakers.

Thanks

You might check the cable, and see if it is broken. You might also want to check the cable and see if it's a stereo cable or a mono cable (which would only put out one channel)

I have a very old Panasonic home stereo system and some huge floor- standing speakers. I would like to replace the floor-standing speakers with some shelf speakers. What specifications should I look for to ensure that I don't destroy my system?

Thanks!

i would check the impedance for the speakers, it should be on the back where you hook them up, it should be measured in ohms and the symbol should look like a horse shoe.

any ideas what brands will be good to look into? I've been looking at Klipsch, Polk, Pure Acoustics and Infinity and what not and really, i haven't heard many of them to get an idea of the general sound of each brand. I dont really know where to go to test any of these out either. So i guess this question is just about other brands to consider that aren't thousands and thousands of dollars

The brands you mentioned are good brands, and have speakers in a wide range of prices. There are also many other (Bose, Jamo, AR, etc.) However, if you care about sound quality, you should audition the speakers. Even high-quality speakers sound different, and often it is only a matter of taste as to which you would prefer. If you are going to spend significant money on a good system, it is worth it to spend the time to listen to as many as you can. You might also listen to some very high-end units (you wouldn't buy) just to set a reference as to what the best sound like.
