bro unless u wanna listen to music in full range using only your speakers,without your sub, u should be looking at ascend 340se. They are supposed to be more neutral, easier to drive and take more punishment than sierra1, just cant go as low as sierra1. They r on sale now too but still u have to be sure neutral speakers r what u r looking for. Buying speakers based on reviews is never advisable. I did it but bcoz i was fed up with the few stores that i visited locally. Either no ready stock to audition, bad service or more bad service with ridiculous price.

Pls take note dat there r too many fanboys around including ascend and svs fanboys so take everything with few pinches of salt. Just use the reviews as a rough guide to know the characteristic of the speakers. If u have a frenly local hifi store to go to then it is always a better choice, if u happen to stay in a kampung like me without a frenly local hifi store then maybe Internet Direct maybe your last option. Sorry talk until off topic liao

guys there r two speakers always mentioned in other forums... both are known as bang for buck affordable speakers.. although only Dana looks more affordable in RM

1) Dana 630 (USD4XX)
2) Selah SSR (diy) (USD7xx)

i dont know whether they r really that good but since many have talked abt ID speakers here so i just post the two here
