I need help selecting a 5.1 system with the following constraints:
I have a room with 8ft ceilings (approx 35ft long by 12 ft wide).
My budget is ~$600 for the speakers and ~400-500 for the receiver (or ~$1100 total, maybe up to ~1200 :) ).
I would like the system to match (at least be all the same brand).
I need the system to be bookshelf (no towers).
I would like the most bang for my buck (obviously).
I'll be watching 50% HD TV, 40% DVD movies, & 10% Xbox 360.
What I've looked at so far:
Energy Take Classic (decided too week, and can get better for a couple hundred more).
Energy C Series Setup: 4 C-50's, 1 Center channel C-C50. However, these are being discontinued and I'm having trouble finding them online for cheap.
Klipsch Cinema 10 (4 RSX-5's & 1 RSX-4 center channel). I'm discourage with the low frequency range coverage (92HZ), will this be an issue.
Sub: Energy ESW-V10....could really use some advice here.
Receiver: Pioneer 1019-AH (I'm pretty sold on this...)
I found a good deal on the Klipsch Cinema 10 for $525, but that doesn't leave me a lot left for the sub.
Any help would be appreciated! I'm really excited to pull the trigger on my first system, but need some advice.
