I've finally selected 2 out of 3 components for my first surround system, to be used primarily for HT and PS3. I'll be buying a Denon 1910, and BIC F12. Now I just need to get some speakers...


I was going to buy the Energy Take 5s, but they are priced pretty high right now ($230 on Newegg, and I've seen them for $150 on there). I'm now looking at other speaker options since I refuse to pay $230 for a product I could have gotten at $150. I'm assuming I can use that $80 "extra" on a higher quality set.


What other good stuff is out there that would match my system level? I'd like to try to keep it around $250. FYI this is for use in a 15'x10' carpeted bedroom, but I may move this system to my slightly larger living room which has an open floor plan.


Thanks.

Perhaps the Jamo C401 system? 2 pairs of C401s and the C400 center.

Just to rub it in, they used to have a coupon code that lowered the $150 price to $120.

I do prefer the smaller speakers for this room... there's not too much space for towers. That was one of the reasons I was drawn to the Energy Take 5's. I'll check out those Jamos.


Any other suggestions guys?

Anyone...? I did find the HSU VT-12's, but those don't really seem to be too much better than the Energy's, and it sounds like they are very sensitive to room placement...

Plus I think you run the VT-12 sats thru the center speaker, a unique setup.

I've listened to the c401's and they actually sound pretty good, for their price in my opinion, it's a fantastic deal.
