I would say my room is small to mid size. I just measured and it is 12x15, but it opens to a hall way and has 4' or so wide opening to the dining room. Because of that, maybe the V1220 would be the better choice to fill my room even though I'd rather have the more accurate sound and harder hits...

Since you have heard the Dayton HSU-10 (which I have also heard is the same as the AL10) and the V1220, which would you take? Which will go lower? Which has better sound? At this point I am more concerned with quality of bass than quantity of bass. In other words I'd rather have a sub that...

I think I will got with the 508. It is the most expensive of the three but if it is clearly the best then I want it. This helps me narrow my sub search too as I have a very strict budget that cannot afford both the 508 and the F12. So it will be the 508 with the V1220. Unless anyone has any...

Sorry. I had started the other thread as a general discussion before I had really decided much of anything for my whole system and so I started this thread for a more focussed discusion specifically on the receivers. Won't do it in the future.

I have a firm budget of $200 shipped. I thought the V1220 was rated at lower frequencies than the F12?

Pioneer VSX-520, 820, or Onkyo TX-SR508. They will be powering 2 Polk Monitor40, 2 Monitor30, and a CS1. Which would be best up to the task?

I recently purchased a pair of Polk Audio Monitor40's (fronts), Monitor30's (rears), and a CS1 center. I'm going to pair them with one of these receivers: Pioneer VSX-520, 820, or Onkyo TX-SR508. I'm torn on what sub to get for this set up. My room is about 12x17 with vaulted ceilings and it...

Well I have bought my speakers. Went with Polk Audio Monitors. Got monitor40's for the front and 30's for the surrounds with a cs1 center channel. Now I need to decide on my receiver and sub. Sub choices are all BIC America: F12, V1220, or V1020. Receiver is between two of last year's Pioneers...

where would one find a 9300 factory refurb? Do you by chance mean the 7300? I'm seeing the 9300 listed for quite a bit more than $650

I have heard the Pioneers in a 3.1 set up (albeit with a weak 8" Pioneer sub) and liked them. I'm just so torn on what to do lol. I just need someone to tell me "this is the best 5.1 set up for $650" at this point haha. I was looking at Fluance as well. They have an Ebay store where you can get...

So I have found two speakers lying around that I am going to use as my satellites. So my choices now are a Onkyo TX-NR509 with the pioneers and a F12 or the Sony's with a matching center, and surrounds with the 509 as a 5.0 setup.

I am going to set up my first home theater. I want some input on my ideas. So I have two options. Piece together my own set or buy a speaker package. For my piece together option, here is what I have come up with: Sony SS-F7000 Towers (Left and Right channels) Polk Audio CS10 (center channel)...

Thanks for your help! That VT-12 has me interested. Monoprice is my go to for cables.

Haha, you ninja'd my post too! Already got sub suggestions. Hmm... I haven't measured the room, but if I were to eyeball it I'd say its about 11-12x15-16

My Best Buy has them hooked up as a 3.1 and I heard them today. The sub is a bit weaker than I would like. Buying them separate with a nicer sub would push my speakers closer to $500. which would push my receiver budget closer to $200 since I'm trying to come in at or below the $700 mark. So I...
