I have a sort of conundrum... Below is my setup. I want a center channel, but i know my girl will NOT want a stand on the floor. There isn't enough room on the top of the cabinet for a decent size speaker because it will block the TV. The top section is 5.5" tall.
So... are there any center...
Ok to answer the budget question
$1500ish for fronts.. i can go over it they're worth it
$1200 for center and two rear/surrounds
A Velodyne Impact 12" subwoofer is already headed my way.
If you're getting 100mb/s internet, make sure your router has gigabit ethernet ports. Fast ethernet is kinda weird in that it will saturate at about 60% traffic vs upper 90% on gig links.
So my current setup is an Onkyo TX-NR636 Receiver
2 old Polk Audio powered towers (circa 2002-3ish)
