Yorkville
YSM-1 (passive)

175$(CAD) eac. 350$ pair.

150watt Eac.

Just wondering what you guys think.

Not too familiar with Yorkville, but for the price, they could be decent. (Btw, they're only 70 watts each).

What application are they for? Music? Movies? Both?
What size of room are they going into? Room layout?
Straight 2-channel, or are you going for a surround system?
What kind of components are you using to power them?
What are your listening habits? Would you use them a lot? Loud?

(Reason I ask so many questions, is that I work for a high-end home audio / home theater shop, and I see people come in all the time who ask for advice like this. The answers to the above questions can help direct you to a set of speakers that will suit your needs best).

My setup:
- Monitor Audio Gold Reference 10's (link)
- Monitor Audio Gold Reference Center(link)
- Monitor Audio Bronze B1's - used for rear surrounds (link)
- Paradigm PW-2100 subwoofer (link)
- NAD T763 (link)
- NAD T572 (link)
- Also, a few tweaks such as high grade speaker cable and interconnects, focal pods, RSC-links, etc.

Now all I need is a big-screen DLP television. B)
