Brother picked up an SX650 today and realizes it's not the most powerful unit but has good reviews soundwise. Can anyone recommend speakers that will bring out the most of his receiver? Thanks!
There are so many to consider, almost all will work fine, everyone is going to say something different because there are 100's of them and people have there preferences. Of course the higher quality speakers make a difference, but they can get very expensive, it comes down to your budget really.
What is important is that they sound good to you, are good value for you and your brother.
Research a multitude of speaker options on google then go to ebay and see what's available.
Like rcs16 said, it all depends on your budget. You can either go nuts or stay inside a reasonable limit.
People perceive sound a little differently too, so whatever works for you guys will be the winner here.
Good luck and post back when you've landed some.
I had an SX737 that I tried with my Klipsch KG4s and Cornwalls - couldn't stand the sound. Brought it out to the shop and tried it with my Pioneer HPM100s and it sang like like a bird. My son thought so, too. He took both of them. Guess it helps to keep it in the family!
