Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a temporary setup until my new home is complete. I just recently bought a 55JS8500 TV ($1,100 from Amazon!!) and now need some audio to accompany it. The TV will ultimately be moved into my bedroom, but for now, it's in a studio apartment, which is roughly 900 square feet with an attached kitchen (Open Layout).
I do not want to spend an arm and a leg on this since it will ultimately be moved into my bedroom.
I'm thinking about getting the "Yamaha RX-V677" since I can scoop one up for $290ish. Also, I know the Pioneer AJ's don't get much love, but the center channel (SP-C22) is $60 on Amazon. Personally, I like good quality stuff, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to audio equipment. Any recommendations on a 2.1 system? Or, could I do two front speakers, a center and a sub? It'll be primarily used for movies, and because I live in the city, I do not need anything too powerful. Price wise, I'd like to stay under $500 for speakers and a sub. Again, this is temporary and will be moved into a bedroom. I don't necessarily need surround sound; I'm simply looking for better audio than what the TV can provide. If you guys are so kind to provide any recommendations, I'll seek them out locally so I can listen to them first in order to make an educated decision.
Thanks in advance!
