I have USD 1000 / I want 3.1 system / bookshelve and center speakers and powered sub ( should I get AVR ? I will not upgrade in future to more than 3.1)

I prefer options from Klipsch I have 25% discount from them / https://www.klipsch.com/

my room is 10ft X 12ft
I am 6.5 ft away from the TV
I only need the system for watching movies
Only decent Klipsch in that price range are RP series and they aren't cheap. For $1100 (before your 25% discount):

2 pairs of RP-160, $350 each - use 3rd as center, 4th one you can store or resell

RP-112SW sub, $400
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714R112SW/Klipsch-Reference-R-112SW.html

* Your money can go a LOT farther if you *don't* buy Klipsch.

For example,
3 x NHT SuperOne for $300 shipped from Amazon
$458 for a Hsu VTF-1 sub

$240 Yamaha receiver

Not sure where your 25% discount comes from but if the seller honors Amazon pricing this 3.0 would be $476.

https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-RP-4...ZT68FBQS1DG&psc=1&refRID=WWTS957GXZT68FBQS1DG

This sub would be $29 with your discount.

Reciever for $229.

For mostly movies, Boston Acoustics A26 X3. You can also go with the smaller A25's.

Not 100% sure if you are including a receiver in this budget scenario, but I'll just go with the 1k budget for 3.1 speakers/sub. If I were putting together a 3.1 system at this moment and had a 1k budget, this is one option I would strongly consider.



Polk S15 bookshelf speakers $155.97 https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Signatu...ords=polk+s15&qid=1566427803&s=gateway&sr=8-3


Polk S30 center channel $129.99 https://flash.newegg.com/Product/9SIAJKJ9AF6983


HSU VTF-2 mk5 $577/shipped. http://hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-2mk5.html


So $862.96 total. If you did need a receiver, apply the rest of the 1K budget towards one. This would be a rock solid and very nice 3.1 speaker/sub home theater package, particularly in your smaller room size. I had the S15 and S30 and they are very nice speakers and good for home theater. :cool:

A really high quality bargain 3.1 would be a pair of the Infinity Reference R162 bookshelves refurbished at $175. The matching new RC262 3-way center at $350, 1 or more of the matching 12" R12 subwoofer $159. If you want a beefier sub the Premier Acoustic 15" PA-150 via eBay for $250.

For $1,050 I'd go with an Elac Debut + Denon X-series 2.1 setup and add a center channel later once the budget allows.

Denon AVR-X1500H: https://amzn.com/B07L37KD54
Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2: https://amzn.com/B07B4Q5587
Elac Debut 2.0 SUB3010: https://amzn.com/B07B4WM5H1

Picked the Denon because it has Audyssey MultEQ XT which I think is essential to getting everything to sound right. Also, saved in your budget by going with a refurbished one (still comes with warranty so you have little to lose) and by skipping jumping up to the 3000 series which includes XT32 which you won't need because the Elac sub has built-in room correction.
