Stereo Speakers Brands

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.

I came up with this one day when I was bored and didn#39;t want to put the things in my ear. The trombone on the left is a King 2103F and the ...

I'm looking to get a pair to serve as rear speakers for my stereo system. Model recommendations would also be appreciated.

Look for the Boston Acoustics HD or CR series or a clean pair of ADS. Klipsch is OK, but stay away from Bose and Polk and most of the no-name brands. Other than that, it's a hit-and-miss game on eBay. There's lots of good used gear to be had at a great price on eBay, so just do your research and you should find a great pair within your price point.

Happy listening!

I'm looking to replace all 4 speakers in my car (only one of four has been blown but, I figure I mine as well replace all four)

What defines good car stereo speakers?

What brands should I avoid all together?

What defines a good speaker is how you like how it sounds.

Go to your local shop and grab a listen. Your ears will thank you.

My two front speakers are "popped" and sound awful whenever i turn my stereo on...

I'm going to a audio "dealer" to purchase and install speakers for my car...

What things should I be asking? I want to make sure I am getting decent speakers but, I have no clue what to ask the gentleman...

(i.e. watts? speaker brand?...etc)

Okay, ignore the person who first answered this question. He is quoting brands and cannot spell them, so that leads me to believe he doesn't know what he is talking about. The first thing you have to do is determine the power your running to your speakers. Most stereos today put out a max of 50 watts. Also, what kind of music you listen to and at what level plays a part too. If you are a rap fan, then something with a heavier magnet and better quality voice coil that can take the bass is needed. If not, then those aren't quite as important. I suggest The brands of KENWOOD, PIONEER, SONY for the cheaper models, and if you want better quality, go for POLK AUDIO, ROCKFORD FOSGATE, or JL AUDIO. The cheaper models will work for most, but with car audio, you really do get what you pay for. Also, stay away from JENSEN, and other cheap speaker that advertise a high power rating. If you put the power rating to a test, you will blow the cheapos in a heartbeat.
