I am on a budget and looking for sound quality for both home theatre and music (electronic and rock). I am thinking 2.1 or 3.1 with the ability to add up to 5.1 in the future when I have more $. The room is about 20'x14'x8'.
The speaker choices so far in budget from reading the forums are as follows:
1) The ideal option would be converting my old IASCA Competition Vehicle speakers into a home audio system;
- Image Dynamics CXS speakers (6.5"mid, 1" tweet) (4 OHM, 25-250W, 90db, 65Hz-250kHZ), have a pair of these.
- IDQv IDQ 10D4 V.3 (10" Dual 4 OHM, 50 -500wRms, http://www.imagedynamicsusa.net/idq.html), have 2 of these can make 2 boxes.
The cost here would only be to have the boxes built, I do not feel like doing this myself. figure $300?.
OR
2) SVS SBS02 speakers $149 for the pair with PB1000 $475.
3) Pioneer FS51 tower speakers $75 with Pioneer SPC21 $99 and a really good subwoofer budget would be $450.
4a) Axiom Audio VP100 $252 with the M3's $340 (may need stands add $200).
4b) Just the Axiom Audio tower M50s $774.
4c) Axiom Audio M3's $774 with a really good subwoofer budget would be $300.
Receiver:
I am budgeting approx. $350, willing to wait on a good deal. The Receiver will be purchased to run whichever route I go with and also have an Audyssey MultiEQ, from what I have read.
Subwoofer:
I could use some recommendations on the best subwoofer for the ideal option above.
Any other/better suggestions are welcome!
Thanks again in advance for any assistance, your expertise and experience are greatly appreciated.
