Once you have a budget set,compile a list of speakers that fit into that budget. Go out and listen to as many of them as you can, let your ears be the guide....

I got a "package deal" on the speakers...$1998 (BP-8060ST's, CS-8040HD, SR-8040-BP's) The Denon was $850

I have an Acoustimass 5.1 setup, I never thought it sounded all that good, but, it didn't sound horrible either. When I decided to upgrade my system I wanted to start from scratch. I had a budget in mind, and began research.... So, figure out your budget first. Spend 2/3 ~ 3/4 of it on speakers...

I would isolate what wire goes to what speaker, hook it up, see how it sounds...

There's always that....

Couldn't you check for continuity and resistance with a multi meter?

If the TV has more than 1 HDMI input... I would connect the Uverse box to HDMI 1, the LG HTiB to HDMI 2. Connect the Uverse Optical out to the LG HTiB Optical in. This way to watch TV with no surround sound, turn on Uverse, turn on tv, set to HDMI 1. To watch TV with surround, turn on Uverse...

You're welcome, glad I could help?....

As schan1269 stated it depends on your hookup options. I have all my sources running thru my AVR, via HDMI and the TV hooked up to the sound bar via optical link. Doing it this way allows me to use the soundbar or the AVR no matter what input device I use...

I have no idea for a Mac, I use avs4you...Windows only....

I had a similar issue with a Sharp TV, folders were visible but no content. After reading the manuals for both devices several times and going over all the settings several times, I could find nothing wrong in the setup. After many calls to Sharp's customer service it turned out the issue was...

Whatever cables are required to hook-up your components should be available HERE Inexpensive cables work just as well as the way overpriced ones.....Don't waste money on snake oil....

That is entirely possible, not to mention probable, yet it's not stated in those terms. Model numbers are helpful....

From the OP..... Not sure why you think the OP doesn't have upgrade possibilities for individual components...

This leads me to question weather it's the speakers or the AVR? If you have at least 1 working speaker, I would switch them around and try to determine weather it's the speakers or the AVR, and start the upgrade process from there. It would be a shame to buy speakers, only to find out it was...

I found what looks like a pretty good deal... BP-8060ST with CS-8040HD Center & SR-8040BP Surrounds For $1998.00 Hope they don't take too long to ship....

Thanks for the link to def Tech.... Looking at the BP-8020ST setup, it just might fit the bill....

My understanding of MDF is it's very reflective of upper audio frequencies, not so much in the lower end. Not good without proper insulation. As I said, an example of size restraints only...

Just using that as an example...Not speaking of quality or performance....

Well...corner fireplace, sliding patio door, hallway entry, kitchen entry, front door....etc. It's a good sized room with limited furniture placement options.....Poor design.... I'll look into Def Tech....

5.1 is all I can do. With floor standing fronts a separate sub creates a space issue. How small for the rears..... Well, the Orb's you linked to would work..size wise. I guess the question is how do you mix and match? For instance, Fluance SV10's would work up front. The Orb's would work...

Here's the situation I ordered a Denon AVR3312CI AVR, it will arrive soon. The room is about 14' x 24' I would like floor standing fronts (with built-in subs, if possible) Rear sats need to be small, wall mountable. I've got $2000 ~ $2500 to spend. I'm wondering how to best mix and match... It...
