need 5.1 speaker set. which brand should go for?

Whatever speakers sound best to YOU that fit into your budget. There are tons of options in your budget range. You simply need to start auditioning and find a sound that suits YOU. No one can tell you what you will like or what might sound good to you.


There are so MANY great brands out there.... just start perusing through the forums and compile a short list of brands that might interest you and then start giving them a listen.


As for what to definitely avoid.... on my short list would be Bose, Fluance and anything from a White Van....


Good luck.

Sure bets in your price range:


Available at audio stores, some also from internet dealers:


Monitor Audio Silver

Def Tech

Energy RC

PSB Image Series

Paradigm Monitor Series


Available from Internet Direct Only companies:

www.aperionaudio.com
www.**********

Swan from www.theaudioinsider.com


Obviously there are over 200 alternatives, but these ones always receive solid reviews, and are favorites here.


If going ID I would start with Aperion, as they would pay the freight back to them, if you don't like their sound.

Check out the SVS SBS-01 system . Specifically, the 5.1 system with the PB12-NSD at $1200, maybe $1300 including shipping. The PB12-NSD offers superb performance on home theater, great low frequency extension.
