I am on a budget and I need to get a receiver and a surround sound set for around $1000. I figured I would spend ~ $300-350 on the receiver and $650-700 on the speakers. Now I know I might get flamed for this but hear me out. I am considering the Bose Acoustimass 6 speaker set ($620) and getting a $300+ receiver. The thing is that my room I will be using these in is only 13'x16' so I don't need anything huge.
Pros:
Small - big deal to me because I do NOT have the floor space for floor speakers or shelf space for shelf speakers
Easy - All in one set and no mixing and matching is required.
Cons:
Value/Price - could get better sound for same price but at what cost (time, research)?
Now i have read tons of reviews for this set and they are either 5 star or 1 star (average of 4 stars) so it is a bit confusing. I was also thinking about buying the satellites without the Bose woofer and getting a separate sub.
Now I know nobody here will recommend getting these speakers, but maybe you could steer me in the right direction for a better value. Remember, I must be able to hang the speakers on the wall or from the ceiling. I am somewhat of a home audio noob so help me out.
