I currently have the polk audio rm6750 speakers and a bic america 12" sub. I'm gonna order a bic center dual 6" probably. And just wondering what bookshelfs to get.

Ive been looking at the Sony b1000s, dayton 652 and monoprice 3 way speakers. I'm not sure if these would be better than my polka. But I was leaning towards the Daytons.

Also I'm on a budget.

Why not the DV62?

Trying to find a good price on those in canada is hard

What's your budget? You should match the front three to the same series speakers. I think the DV series should be timbre matches but why not look at the DV52s and the matching center? Seems reasonable on price.

My budget is around 300-350. And living in Canada, that limits me to bic or Fluance. I know Polk Rti4s are really good, but those are 350/pair here.

However, I can get the FH6 bookshelves for $150 and the DV62si center for $150. So $300 plus tax, $337. But the bookshelves have the horns and the center doesnt, does it matter? The dv62 bookshelves cost more at 200, not sure why if the formulas are supposed to be better.

I might actually consider just getting the dv52 fronts and center, they are about $50 or so cheaper.

Yes you don't want to mix horns and domes...they sound different. You should go try to hear some horns to see if you like them before investing a good bit of money into some. Either you like them or you don't. It would suck to get them only to figure out you're in the don't like them camp.

Are you sure the pricing is for a pair of FH6 they are normally sold each...so if that holds they would be $100 more than the DV which is about right from what I remember.

I think the DV52s and center would be a good option for you. They would be a step up and would fit nicely into your budget.

You might be right, in that its just a single.
