Hey Yuri, nice setup. I’m looking for some speakers. I haven’t made up my mind to buy a 2.0 or 5.1 system. I know there is no comparison between the two, but still, this is my problem now. I have been looking into receivers and speakers for my TV setup and audio hardware for my rig. My budget is low, around 500 euros. I can’t buy something for my TV setup without making a compromise and I don’t want that. I’m more inclined to buy some good old 2.0 stereo speakers and use them with my TV and computer. Seeing your setup made me wonder. I see you are not into music production or anything related, just a hot fan of good, high quality sound. So tell me, are these speakers above the middle range, average sound experience? If I go out and buy them, I want to have something with high fidelity, not high volume. Quality is my first condition, everything else after.
Thanks and again, great setup man!
Cheers,
Andrei
