what is better Cerwin Vega VE5M or Polk Audio T15 or bic america dv62si in sound quality?

I would say that the T15 is probably the more accurate and musical, plus, it's a hell of a bargain. They can be found on sale for $50... THE PAIR!! They just sound great. They are slightly warm in my room... most likely the room itself causing the issue. Judicious use of tone controls correct this for me. The amount of musical enjoyment for so little money, You can't go wrong. The build of construction, fit and finish, and looks, especially with the grills off make these even more attractive.

I own the Polk T15 and BIC America DV62si speakers. The BIC speakers are bigger, heavier and have wider frequency response/higher sensitivity than the Polk T15's. I would recommend the BIC speakers over the Polks. I've seen the Polks on sale for for around fifty dollars, but have never seen a new pair of BIC America DV62si's offered for less than a hundred.I would also consider Micca's MB42 speakers. They sound similar to the Polk T15, but cost less.

Hi Gabriel, your lower powered amplifier will work just fine with the VE's. The Cerwin Vega line of amps, like all high powered amps, are for looking to get the most out your speakers.

I would suggest the Marantz PM5004 Integrated Amplifier which is a great amplifier yet simple in design. I'm using it with Polk Audio TSI500 Floor Standing Speakers. Those I think you can fairy compare to the quality of the 753 in terms of audio clarity. I just preferred the Polk. The Marantz PM5004 is great in reproducing any kind of input you stick to it but if you look for clarity on analogue (like vinyl) or even better reproduction of digital (CD, minidisc, computer, etc) I doubt you can find a better in that price range (app $400-500). Good luck

I'd recommend Polk Audio Rti A1's. Might be a little more than 200.00 though and you'll need an amp.200.00 budget for what you want is difficult. Unless you go with something used on e-prey. I've seen the Polk A1's here on amazon priced at 215.00. Get a low cost receiver/amp from Radio Shack or here on amazon and you're in business.

Can't really provide an opinion based on comparison. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Polk DB6501's. Have really liked the Alpine SPR60s though. When I did my research before purchasing the Alpines Polk's rated very high. Try to visit a local audio shop in your area that carries both brands and listen for your self. I can tell you that you can't go wrong with the Alpines they produce good quality sound.

I would check with a Klisch rep on this one. The 62 is a nice speaker but I think the heresy is such a nice speaker that you might want to move up the line if you can afford to. Ordering here is convenient and return policy is great! So try one if you don't want it return it.

I advise IN FAVOUR of the Bravo Audio V1, as opposed to the Bravo Ocean Mini. I have both The V1 and Ocean Mini, and the V1 has much better sound (better bass, dynamics and crispness - not brightness). This is maybe due to the superior build of the tube installed in the V1 (EH 6922 gold pins).

I've always admired the treble and highs on polk audios. That's just my opinion though. Infinity is a good brand too.

The Z623 get my vote. As mentioned in my review, every time I adjusted the Klipsch speakers I tested they gave me static feedback every time I went to tweak them. Even my 12 year old heavily used and abused $50 Logitech X220 speakers don't do that.

I Have Cerwin-Vega XLS-15S For 7.2 System And The 2nd Cerwin-Vega XLS-15S Will Make A Big Difference.

These are the only Cerwin Vega speakers I've ever had, so I couldn't compare the two. I can say that I've had these 3 years now, and couldn't be more pleased with them. I see that the XLS 12 has 5db higher sensitivity, so they'd be louder for the same input power.

I have 62's as my surrounds, so I cannot say for certain. That said, the center channel is an excellent speaker, comparing favorably to my much more expensive polk CS 350. I suspect they have the same tweeter, which is the most important factor in speaker matching. They are close enough where you could probably only detect the difference with an analyzer.

Yes, it is for a pair. CERWIN VEGA Home Audio Cerwinvega.com VE 5M 5 1/4" 2 Way Bookshelf Speaker The VE Series' smallest 2-way family member packs a serious punch with a 5 1/4-inch woofer providing 125W power handling from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, and 89 dB SPL (1 watt/1 meter) sensitivity.

The Pioneer probably has a better pre-amp/signal processing, and also it also probably pushing higher voltage out of the RCAs. The Bravo is a good basic unit, and I am also looking for a better data-only deck.

Why match a powerful 12", 300W-460W subwoofer with a weak, small 4", 80W bookshelf speakers? Doesn't make sense. I'm getting the BIC FH-65B 6.5" 10W -175W, 96db speakers for my PSW505. If you're going to go cheap and stick with the SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones then you should get the PSW10 for half the price ($95) of the PSW505. They are a better power and price match.

The 75T is a much bigger louder speaker overall. The TSi-300 can handle 150watt RMS where the 75T can handle 275watt RMS, and can be bi-amped. I would say if you have a smaller receiver/amp and room go with the TSi-300's. If you have a big room and high-wattage receiver then go big and get the 75T's. In all honesty you cannot go wrong with either of these Polk speakers.

Depends on your budget and size restrictions. BIC F12 might be complimentary. I wouldn't go polk for the price.
