Hello all,


Yes, this is a lame thread. Nothing very exciting about a $50 pair of speakers. However, my brother is looking to upgrade from his current Onkyo In-A-Box surrounds and I'm trying to help. We've upgraded everything but the surrounds, so now we're looking to complete his setup with some basic surrounds.


Current setup:
Pioneer VSX-1120 receiver
Polk RT800i towers
Polk CS400i center channel.
Onkyo Front Speakers seen here (being used as surrounds): http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S340...F8&qid=1427156303&sr=1-1&keywords=onkyo+s3400

So he is hoping to stay around $50 for something. I was thinking either the Polk T15 (on sale for $60 at Best Buy), Dayton B652s or Dayton B652 Airs. Any thoughts on what would be best? Want to order it tonight so I appreciate your response!


Thanks,


Mike

Look at the insignia brand book shelfs. I have some in surround duty and they are actually dang good speakers.

I would think about raising the budget $19 more

+1 on the Insignia - they are nice

2nd option - Sound Appeal speakers - I have a pair coming

Your call

I can talk him up slightly, so $69 would probably be fine if it's a big step up from those daytons.

@zieglj01 Both links are the same though?

My bad - here is the second link

Yes, I consider both speakers to be a clear step above the Dayton speakers.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a decent option. Any other opinions?

Let us know which option you pick and how u like em, had the insignia's for my fronts before upgrading to polk fronts, the insignia's worked awesome, i was amazed at how well they handled them selves.
