Help... I think I made a mistake w/ purchase

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Yesterday, I found the pinnacle FRC 27300 surround setup on sale for 65% off its msrp of $999. I admit I've never heard of pinnacle but needed to replace my old pioneer xbox system with something better. I researched and could only really find info saying pinnacle was a great brand and one review of the frc 27300 giving it five stars. I pulled the trigger anyway.

Today while researching receivers I came across the pinnacle MB8000 system and think I may have made a mistake. It's almost the same price and has many glowing reviews.

I'm not an audiophile but the main difference I see is the sub being a new product for pinnacle on the frc 27300. Can someone help me out with this? Unless there is something I'm missing I'm thinking of canceling and ordering the mb8000.

I've never heard of either one nor know much about pinnacle speakers.

Why not go with something well reviewed like the Polk RM6750 which cost much less?

And on sale at Newegg for $179 and free shipping.

Wow, yeah that seems to give me another great option. Thanks! I was drawn to pinnacle because they are made in the USA and seem to be a outstanding value and last forever.

Here is the pinnacle speaker link here in avs

no if you can get the MB 8000 for the same price as the 27300 I'd go for it. you'll get better sound with the bigger speakers if you are ok with having them.. and it would easily put the Polk system to shame.. which the polk system is decent but the pinnacle will be better.
