I started building up a home theater system piece by piece in my apartment then put it on hold because my walls were paper thin and I didn't want to be that guy. I now have a house but have realized I don't really have that good an ear to keep spending this kind of money on speakers. My equipment has been sitting around half unpacked and I want to finish the system so I can call my living room DONE.
I have
Harman Kardon AVR140 receiver (6.1 ch)
2x Infinity Primus 150 bookshelf speakers.
1x Boston Acoustics HS225 center chanel
2x NS-A638 Yamaha (they're big ugly & don't sound that good, I'd prefer not to retire these to another room for use with the turntable)
I bought all the above equipment on the cheap (like 75% off at the Circuit City going under sale for the center channel)
What would finish this out nicely without spending much money. I'd like to keep it under $100 if possible but a powered sub looks like it will kill the budget alone for anything decent. Are the infinity's best as Front or rear? should I look to finish this setup as 5.1 or is 6.1 worth buying the additional satellite?
(why didn't I just go for one of those cheap box sets at walmart? It may be lousy but it would be done and I wouldn't be screwing around looking for speakers anymore)
Thanks
