    Help in choosing startup system

    Alright, a little background on the room these will be in. I don't have exact dimensions, but I'll try and post an edit with them and some pics of the room soon. If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably about 9x12. The thing is, I want to also have a bar in the room. It's not going to be...

    First reciever

    I might actually get a 6.1 speaker setup, I'm trying to research things but there's so many choices. I've heard good things about the budget Onkyo system for around $200 including a sub, and the athena Point 5's, and last year when I did some research people recommended JBL NSP1 IIs, but those...

    Best (Onkyo SKS-HT510?) speaker set

    If people only want to spend around $200 on the speakers (I'm in this boat - I'm willing to spend ~$200 on speakers and another $100 on a sub), it's tough to get a reciever that's capable of the things we want for 1/2 the cost of the speakers. If you have a 6.1 setup, you need a 6.1 reciever and...

    First reciever

    I'm looking to setup a "home"-theater system (I say "home" because actually it's for a college room, but I can play it as loud as I want other than my roomate no one else is in the vicinity) for under $1,000 definitely, looking around $500-$600 range. For speakers I may go with athena Point 5...

    Athena Point 5 MK II Speaker System

    Really? I can get it for around the same price, a bit less even, and am in the market for a system. What woofer would you recommend to go with them? I think I'm going to get an Onkyo reciever, not sure which one yet, though.

    JBL NSP1 II, or other budget systems

    I was looking to get a system last year and got good recommendations for the JBL NSP1 II system. I didn't get one last summer but this time I really need to get a system, but want to try and keep it around $500. For anyone that doesn't know about the NSP1's, here's a description taken from an...

    ? regarding Sony STR-K502P and Satellites

    He said he HAD to know tonight, I guess because there was someone else offering to buy it for $170 without the DVD player, and I crack under pressure so I said I would take it for $200 with the DVD player. Was this a mistake? For the record, it was bought for $400 at Best Buy and technically...

    ? regarding Sony STR-K502P and Satellites

    A friend of mine is selling a Sony STR-K502P with the 5 satellites and sub (Sub is rated at 100W I believe and Satellites are 100W as far as I can remember) along with a Pioneer DV-C503 DVD player for $200 total. He paid $500 for it at Best Buy, and has a service plan through June 2005. This...

    Reciever Crossovers

    Do you mean they don't cut it alone? Or don't cut it for music at all, even with a sub? I've heard really good things about the NSP1 set and was actually splurging a little to get them...

    Reciever Crossovers

    So basically, doesn't that make the Pioneer recievers worthless? The lowest any of them have is 100Hz! I don't see why Pioneer would be so stupid... Also, what exactly do frequency responses mean on satellites? Like for the JBL NSP1 set, it says the frequency responses are 80Hz-20Hz...

    Reciever Crossovers

    I had a question about the different crossover frequencies on recievers. I'm trying to decide between the Onkyo $300 model with the 80, 100, 120 Hz frequencies and a Pioneer with 100, 150, 200 Hz. Could someone explain the differences between different crossover values? As I understand it it...

    Relatively Cheap Speakers and Sub?

    The KLH 911Bs don't look on sale to me? Just say $30 and nothing about a sale... What frequency responses should I be looking for in Satellites? Also there's a KLH 6-piece kit for $80, http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?&b...cat=15&scat=23 I know it isn't good, but I'm going with a few hundred...
