Money spent on quality speakers and subs is money well spent.Originally Posted by Eddie
Consider this: the minimum amount of distortion that a person can detect is somewhere between 0.1 and 1%. The distortion of almost any entry level player (from a reputable company) plus the distortion of the AV receiver will be far less than 0.1%. However, many speakers and subwoofers, when pushed to their limits in the lower frequencies, introduce distortions of as much as 10%!
That's more than 100X the distortion introduced by all other components combined.
If there were a penny and a dollar on the sidewalk, which one would a smart person pick up first?
