Several hours surfing and I'm nowhere close to making a decision on a new receiver. Tight budget~$1250) for receiver and speakers is holding me back--hence needing to cut any extras. Note I'm not an audiophile- just your regular ole paralysis through analysis guy, unfortunately. My punch...

I'm in the process of choosing speakers for my 5.1 surround system for my soon to be finished basement. it's a large open space (approximately 30 x 20) with high ceilings (8ft+). I'm looking for a solid performing in wall speaker for mostly television watching, with occasional music. In terms...

Remodeling my 16 x 25 living room and adding a home theater that I'm sure would be considered entry level. Even so, I want to do it right. I'd say the usage is 70% movies and 30% music. The receiver is an Onkyo 616. The room is oriented so that the screen is centered on the long wall over a new...

 Looking for some feedback from anyone using the Polk in wall speakers:  85i, 265LS, 255c-LS, etc.   Anyone have these?  Did you do a full setup with the same model, or did you mix and match.  And if so, how successful were you?  

 I'm having an issue deciding on which speakers to get.  Currently I have an Onkyo HT-R590 receiver with a Polk CS10 center speaker.  I'm looking to buy in wall speakers for the left and right fronts but am having trouble deciding which would be best as I'm not 100% on the specs and jargon. ...

I am trying to add in-wall surround to my setup and I've decided to stay on a budget (below $200 for both speakers). My current setup is a Klipsch Reference/Icon with a Sony receiver (see "Living Room" setup my sig). I initially wanted to high-end Klipsch reference surrounds, but they are way...

I already have an Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver and a Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer. What speakers should I use given my $750 budget? I have looked towards Polk, simply because I already have a Polk sub. I am open to other suggestions though. TIA Center: Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall...

 I've been going back and forth between the Polk RC85i, Micca M-8 S, various Klipsch in-wall, as well as some Polk bookshelf speakers. I can't decided.   I could get a completely off-brand in-wall 6 speaker system (excluding sub and center) with similar specs for $200~, the Polk for about...

 Hi guys,   I'm new to the forums. I've been researching a lot on Google and almost all the links led to this website. I've done my fair bit of research, but I still cannot make up my mind.     What subwoofer would be the best for me? PL-200, RW12D, or something else? Everyone else seems...

 I would greatly appreciate suggestions for Left Center and Right in-wall speakers. My budget is $600 total for the three speakers but I would like to stay under that amount if possible. The room is already finished with drywall so framing boxes would be difficult. This is a basement room...

Hello everyone, I have read quite a bit on this subject and hearing varying opinions. In particular, I see people speaking about Latex paint and thinning it and some use rollers and some use Preval (spray paint gun purchased from Home Depot for around $5). We recently painted our home with...

I'm putting together a home theater and would like a single RC85i in-wall speaker to use as a center channel. If you have one available, please let me know what you want for it.

Hey guys, Initially, I chose 6x Polk RC85i's for front, side, and rear speakers and 1x Polk 255c-RT as the center in a 7.1 surround setting. I've finally decided on going with Def Tech UIW RLS III In-Wall LF/RF with an Onkyo TX-NR818 AVR. Now I'm looking for a good center speaker to...

I have a 5.1 setup. The bonus room is quite large, with appx dimensions of 28 x 16. I plan to mount 5 in wall Polk Audio RC65i or Polk Audio RC85i. The decision is which I should choose. The speakers will be driven by a Yamaha RX-V473. I will also use a Polk Audio PSW505 powered sub. Will the...
