RM Series II - Quality for starters, or total mismatch
Hello Folks,
I'm considering my first HiFi system purchase, and since I'm still on a student budget I'm buying used. I have two items I'm considering:
- A set of 4 RM Series II satellites + centre (THIS IS THE ACTUAL ITEM IN QUESTION)
- And a Integra DTR-5.5 receiver
I chose the receiver since as far as I heard it's the "premium" version of the Onkyo brand, it is relatively new tech, and should last me for a while.
But still have no clue as to what speakers I should get... I know I want them to be small. Bose acoustimass was my original choice, but after reading all the bad opinions about these little speakers I've settled on Polk!
So, finally to my question:
How would the Series II serve me (primarily music + bit of HT), and how do they match up with the Integra DTR-5.5. From the lack of any sort of info I assume these speakers are a much older model, but based on my impression of the brand am hoping they're good. And are these little speakers easy to blow, i.e., how risky is it for me to buy these used?
Phew, simple question, didn't intend to carry on like that
Thanks for you suggestions,
Mike
