    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Well I was recommended on another forum to have the exact same speakers all around (including center), in this case x-ls speakers even for center. So I ask you, would it be better to have an actual center speaker for center? So much different advices. By the way, AV123 replied. Shipping for...

    Headphones, $100-$200 - Suggestions?

    Since your main purpose is music, I'd say go with the SENNHEISER HD-595 for $179.99 at JR.com

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Yeah, the Rockets are out of my budget. Only the x-ls would be doable. Though, I don't know I would choose them over the Infinity 360. PS. Based on numerous people recommending it, I'm going with x-ls speakers. I emailed AV123 for a shipping quote for four of them. Should I get a 5th for a...

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Thanks Alex, any opinion on the Infinity Primus 360? Do actually consider the X-ls to be better than the Primus 360? @ Everyone, HSU replied, shipping to PR is just $94! So for now I'm going with the STF-2. I just don't think I'll be able to notice such a difference worth paying an extra...

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Which would you guys prefer... Infinity Primus 360 or SVS Bookshelf Speakers? If I were to decide just from the specs then the Infinity speakers look better, but that's just on paper. Which one performs better in the real world?

    Thanks mississippi, I'll check it out. About SVS: SVS just got back to me about the shipping cost and they made a very good point on why theirs is more expensive. He said, and I quote: "I’m guessing Crutchfield ships more in a month than we do in a year so they probably get much...

    I'm not saying the box is small, I know the measurements. That's why I can tell you SVS is charging too much for UPS Ground shipping (that is to PR).

    SVS just replied. The shipping method they'll from my order (if I order) is UPS Ground (compared to UPS 2nd Day Air from Crutchfield) and the box measures 22 x 26 x 29 and weighs 77 pounds (NOT 100lbs as some of you said). So yeah SVS's shipping to PR is indeed too expensive. From Crutchfield...

    Holy crap, 40lbs of packaging? Are you sure? What are they surrounding the sub with broken subs to protect it?! Dang. Well I'm gonna wait for HSU's response, I'm more interested in their sub than SVS's. I'll try to contact them again the next business day. If for some reason HSU can't ship to...

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Because I've ordered tons of stuff online (heavy stuff) and I know $168 for a PB10 is way too much. Even your analysis proves it. It's $68 for a 44lbs x-sub, how the hell is it gonna jump to $168 for 16lbs! It's just not right. $100 for 16lbs? They both have packaging, which won't make much...

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Yeah, that's Puerto Rico. How can I treat the room? No good deal at the B-Stock. Plus, the problem with SVS is the shipping cost. Is way too much. Just way over actual cost. They need to adjust that.

    Thanks John. Too bad the PB-10 would cost me about $600 with shipping. The Dayton kit is looking better by the minute, though.

    Good Speakers + Sub for 5.1 System for around $800?

    Hi, new guy here... I'm looking for good speakers and sub to setup a 5.1 surround system for around $800. I've read around tons of different threads here, but there are so many different suggestions that I'm still lost. Plus people's home theater area are usually bigger than what mine will be...
