    Any thoughts on Bose ???

    Onkyo 507 5.1 receiver at amazon $344 shipped SVS SBS-01 5.1 system with PB10-NSD sub $1024 shipped +- location total $1368 less wires and mounting This would be a great setup and would blow the Bose out of the water. Because they are sealed speaker enclosures they are pretty small.

    Best Audio System under Budget

    Welcome to the world of audio. I remember the days when I knew little about audio systems, when I thought I had nice speakers only to learn later that there was so much more out there. If I knew what I know now I would bypass buying a lot of cheap speakers that wasted my time and money...

    Decent cheap 7.1 speaker system

    Price per channel Trying to run a multi channel system on such a low budget means that the rear channels cost in your overall budget will rob the quality from your main front speakers. If I were you I would spend the $300 on two book shelf speakers and maybe a sub. For my room I went with...

    Velodyne SPL-1500R: Any info on this sub?

    Good choice. The SPL has the room correction with microphone and handy remote to adjust settings. This will make the set up easy and get the best bass sound out of the sub with out too much moving, messing with settings and room treatments.

    I am keeping my left and right channel speakers. I have NHT classic Three speakers and I can buy the matched classic three center for $400. So I thought I could put the $400 in the pot to help buy a velodyne Sub. I was wondering how the move to multi channel would be regarding having a...

    New To HT-A/V Help & Speakers

    I would go with the onkyo 706. You can pick one up at amazon for $547.13 shipped. This leaves you with $452 on speakers. This amount alone is not enough for a good sub so I would spend it all on the satellite speakers and spring for a sub later. I am a huge NHT fan. They are great speakers...
