Hi All,
Longtime member, but first post
.
I've recently gotten the urge to add surround sound to the tv in my family room. Im looking to spend about 1k for the speakers (small bookshelves or satellites because of WAF) and receiver. My biggest question (out of many) is about the sub. I have a Velodyne SPL-1200 from about six years ago. Obviously, what I can purchase or need to spend changes quite a bit if I don't need to purchase a sub. Is that sub appropriate for smaller 5.0 systems or am I better off getting a bundled 5.1 system with matching sub?
I've been looking at the following systems:
Mass 10, Quintet V, Energy Classic, Polk Blackstone, Orb, Minx, etc...
Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
