Yeah, I read that thread already when I saw it. Seems like an annoying problem to have with it. For an issue like this though, I think I'd rather have to deal with the problem myself than to knowingly push it off on the other family if that's the only reason for picking the HK. I'm...

Oh, that's neat about the PC mic. Wouldn't Pioneer have calibrated the program to take into account the sensitivity of their mic at certain frequencies though? I'm going to be running 5.1 for a while, but I'm sure I'll get 7.1 going again eventually. I was happy with Logic 7 on the HK for 7.1...

Short version: Which would you pick? Long version: I'm basically in a situation where I could take my pic of either. I had the HK and then circumstances arose where I needed to get a $200 to $300 receiver for a family I was building a HT for from my old parts. I went to Best Buy and...

Ascend acoustics 340s up front and 170s for surrounds with an SVS sub (PB-12) ~$2000

I'm by no means an authority on this, but if I had that much to spend on just speakers and sub, I'd probably get some ascend acoustics. At plasmadocs, you could make a system with 340s for center and mains with 170s for surrounds and rears. Add in an SVS PB10-isd and you've got a solid system...

Whoops, sorry on the Plasmadocs thing. I only looked at the price and put it in the cart to see what the total was. I didn't see the little message about OOS. I hope "will ship as soon as available" means they're getting more.

I think the reason they might be really cheap now is they might be ending the cherry colored line. I'm not sure on that, but based on AV123 not selling the center in cherry anymore makes me think that might be the case. Plasmadocs still has the center to match them though. It would probably...

I don't know if I'm overlooking something, but it seems like you're under the impression that the rockets are $130 each, when it's $129 for a pair. The cherry ones are on sale from their original price of $249~$300. You could get a 7.0 set of them for $129 x 3 + $249 center for $636 +...

You can get them at partsexpress I just got finished hooking up 4 of them. Regular Aura Bass shakers are $30 for a pair. You need something to power them too though, if you're not aware.... like an old receiver or a plate amp.

Sorry it took me so long to post a reply to your questions, you probably don't even care anymore heh. I'm on christmas break from college and don't have internet at my own house (I'm at my gf's). Anyway, for my SX-HTB, I have those plus a set of SV-6's that I also like very much hooked up to...

Did you try the Paradigm dealer? You might even be able to get them to lower the price a bit if you're getting a 5 speaker set from them. That is the one I mentioned earlier, but it seems like $820 US is a ton for that system. Circuit city has it for $425 US over here. If there's that much of...

Are you sure you don't want to buy over the internet? Fluance is based in Canada if that makes any difference to you. I'm fairly certain you'll get better value from the SX-HTB set and a nice receiver with a modest sub than you'd get from a HTIB. That room size shouldn't be much of a...

Wow, with $1200 you could get some pretty nice stuff. I think getting a receiver with speakers is going to give you much better results than computer speakers if you're willing to spend that much. I think that's about how much I've spent on my own system and I'm very happy with it. My system...

Although I don't have the Fluance SV-10s or SM-938s, I do have the SX-HTB set and have heard the AV-HTB set. Even though I had already heard the AV-HTB set, I was reluctant to buy the SX-HTBs that didn't have any professional reviews. I was quite pleased once I got them though and would...

Something you might want to consider is just getting a really good set of computer speakers if you don't want to buy a receiver. Maybe a set of klipsch promedia ultras, Creative Gigaworks or logitech z-5500s would be more what you were looking for. I think the drawbacks would be that 1. I'm...
