    Best small speakers 5.1 home theater

    The Definitive Tech ProCinema speakers are a good choice. But I would look at the 800 system and upgrade the sub to a Def Tech SuperCube 200. Denon and Marantz are the same company D & M with Marantz being the premium brand but Denons are also a good buy...

    Low budget HTIB decision (so cliche)

    What video display are you using? That is a big room and there is no $300 system that will sound good in that room so it really doesn't matter which one you buy. Build a system a few pieces at a time if you can't spend more than$300 at a time. First a receiver then a pair a speakers, next a sub...

    NHelp me set up my home theatre! Pleasee.

    Projector JVC DLA=X75R for screens I like Da-Lite and Stewart. Tom Norton from HT mag advises, Don't go too big with the screen or sit too close to it.

    Best sound for outdoor theater?

    I agree with Jim on the set up. Use out door speakers connected with banana plugs for a fast connect/disconnect to the receiver. Run HDMI to the projector from the receiver in a conduit of 1 1/2" PVC pipe. http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/speakers/products/uom62

    Get a passive sound bar that needs a receiver like any other speaker. From top ten review: Passive sound bars include one or several speakers for each of the front channels (i.e., left, center and right). In the back of the speaker is a connection for each channel, which you need to attach to...
