Soo i was shopping around for Speakers today and went to a BnM called Nebraska Furniture Mart. This place is pretty much my favorite electronics store ever and are know for their very good deals. (i got my PX80U panasonic there for 930 after taxes).
I have my xbox 360, Wii and PS3 now with a good TV on them ... its come time to upgrade the audio. I'm pretty much set on a Onkyo TX-SR606 AVR soo now its pretty much deciding what speakers i want. I'm moving to a new place within about 2 months so basically for now I'm sticking to the idea of 5.1 setup until i know how much space I'll have.
I would budget this project to be at most ... 1200 dollars max. But would obviously enjoy staying under a grand
.
Anyway, Nebraska Furniture Mart runs a bundle on a Klipsch system with the Onkyo 606 thrown in. The system includes RSX-4 for the mains, RCX-4 for the center and a KSW 10 Sub. The speakers come to a total of $1154,94 and the AVR is thrown in for 44.99 which brings the total to $1199,93. After 7% sales tax this would be 1283.93.
A bit more than would like to spend but if they the speakers are impressive.
There are of course other options. I have a friend who i would consider an audiophile who highly recommended a BIC system to me. The center speaker in particular. So he suggested a Venturi DV62CLR-S for my center, DV64 towers for the front mains and the DV62si bookshelf for the rears. Pricing this total package on amazon comes to ~530 dollars with free shipping. This is also nice because i can just spend 100 dollars and add the DV62si bookshelf units the rear for 7.1 sound in the future if needed. This of course leaves out the sub and the Onkyo AVR. Assuming i get something like the Acoustech H100 for 216 and the AVR for 405 (amazon prices) that would bring the grad total to ~1,150.
The BIC set would save me 130 dollars and i would be getting tower speakers instead of bookshelfs. sooo ...
What would you guys do, or what other speaker setup should i consider. Remember budget is about 1,200 dollars
