Just to add a bit more...I am thinking of buying these ceiling speakers: http://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electronics/speakers/6-1-2-round-speaker-2-pack/p-1706837-c-6300.htm and these in-wall speakers...
I'm hoping someone can help me with an inexpensive sound system for our basement. Below is a picture of the layout of the basement.
Here is what I am looking to accomplish:
- Create a home theater area to watch movies and TV.
- Be able to play music stored on Galaxy S3 phones and/or ipod...
It would probably take 3-6 months. They also have the PSB Alpha LR1 for 14,970. My other concern is finding the floorstands for a decent price in a couple of months. I'm pretty sure the Polk TSi300 is on sale quite often at Fry's but I don't believe I've ever seen the FSB (I never even heard...
It's a health program where I get points for achieving certain goals etc. I have 11,227 points right now so would have to wait on the B1 and the TSx110. If I go with the TSi100 I would have leftover points that I could put toward the center speaker (CS10 - 5,988 points; CS20 - 8,982 points)...
So the PBS B1 is that much better than the Polk TSi100? The B1 is 17,964 points and the TSi100 is 8,982. I can also get the Polk TSx110 for 13,772. I currently have 11,227 points so would have to wait until I accrue more the B1 and TSx110.
Like I said earlier, we'll be using the speakers for probably 75% home theater (either direct TV programming or usually just normal DVDs...not Blu-ray). When we do use it for music, we will probably be hooking it up to an Ipod/phone and either streaming music from Pandora or playing music saved...
Okay. I'm sure this is a dumb question (like I said earlier, I'm music illiterate), but why would I want to turn off the subwoofer? What is the benefit of doing so?
To be honest, I have no idea what "pure 2.0" even is. I looked on Denon's website but see no reference to "pure 2.0".

Sounds good. Will I see a major difference by ordering the TSi200 over the TSi100 or the TSi400 over the TSi300? Keep in mind that I have no musical inclinations at all and that on our other TV we have a cheap LG LHT854 HTiB system.
I am looking for suggestions on which speakers to order. The speakers will be connected to a Denon 1613. The speakers would be primarily for home theater viewing (at least 75%). Initially I am just planning on ordering two bookshelf speakers with plans later to add a center, subwoofer and...
Thanks we currently have a five year old LG LHT854 HTIB system (with a DVD built-in - no true receiver) in our family room (this new system will be in our newly finished basement) so I'm our planned system will sound better.
Thanks David! I've read a lot of the threads you mentioned above. Your setup is exactly the setup (including the surrounds and sub) that I was thinking of. How do you like it? Is it loud enough? I have a fairly large room that I will be placing it any.
I have pretty much decided on purchasing two Pioneer SP-FS52-LR to match with my Denon 1613 (I will add a subwoofer, center and maybe surrounds down the road). Before I do so though I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on whether the FS52s are my best option or should I maybe look at...
Can anyone tell me if there are any current sales on the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR speakers? I know they are sometimes on sale for around $80 but right now the lowest price I can find is $127. Also, which of the following would be my best option:1. Four SP-BS22-LR, a SP-C22 center and a subwoofer (BIC...
I know the Denon AVR-E300 receiver is the 2013 model and the AVR-1613 is the 2012 model. What I am trying to determine is if there really any difference between these two models. I've done some research but from what I can tell they are basically the same. Am I right in my understanding?
Thanks Schan. That really clears a lot up. Kind of sounds like the Onkyo NR525 might be the best for me. I do have a couple of follow-up questions:
1. By self-power for Zone 2 on the 525 do you mean it would need a seperate amp? Our network does extend outside to our deck. Is it then...
Thanks Schan! I actually have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can help me with (please keep in mind I have a limited knowledge of these kind of systems). I've done some research but can't seem to find the info I'm looking for:
1. Ideally I would like to hook speakers up outside to this...
Thanks for the responses! We will definitely be hooking up a dvd/bluray player and satellite (DISH-joey). We also have Wii and ps3 but they will probably be moved from TV to TV (we have two other TVs). We have ipads, ipods and android phones plus use pandora. We have always done htib in the...
We just finished our basement and I am looking to put together an inexpensive audio system to go with the 50" 1080p Panasonic plasma TV (TC-50PS64) we just bought. The room is "L" shaped and is approximately 12' by 30' in the section we are going to put it in. I actually am elligible for a free...
