My friend Dan approached me today with a challenge: Find a good stereo setup, comprising a receiver and speakers, for around $1K.
I haven’t shopped for honest-to-goodness stereo equipment for quite a while, so I’m looking forward to digging around to see what I can find. My first thought on speakers was to go with either Pardigm or Axiom. I’ve loved the Paradigms I’ve had, all of which have been from the Monitor series. I’ve not listened to the newest models in that line, but they sure do look slick.
For a receiver, I’m sure Dan could get a good Denon or Marantz from eBay for a pretty good price. I’ll keep this post updated with what I find.
