recommend me some speakers
 

Hi all,

I'm in the process of looking for some nice home theater speakers. I can spend up to and around $1,000. I need a center, two front speakers, two surround speakers and a rear surround speaker. My receiver is a Sony STR-DA2ES. Help me out please. Point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the help!

That is a good budget and you are going to have a lot of options.

The Fry's ad in my area has a deal on a Polk Audio system. 5 surrounds (RM6700) and an 8" powered subwoofer (PSW303) for $699. Anyone know how good a system this is at that price?

Here is a link to the polkaudio website about the system above.

Looks good, but the thing is I don't need a sub and I need an extra rear surround.

Replace the sub with an extra rear surround and you have a better system that most out there.

Don't pay retail markup.

NHT superones- you can get them from onecall for $138 each so six of them will run you $828 which gives you 6 sonically matched speakers and since they are shielded one would be the center channel.

you could also do this with the Klipsch RB-15's. they are $300 a pair without any discounts so for six you would be at $900 for a set of six.

You could do the same using the Energy C-1's which retail for around $300 a pair.

Frankly you can find a bunch of speakers in this price range since you do not want or need a sub.

I also was impressed with these. After listening, I'm considering for my next system (moving to a new house and will put my current system in a game room).

I'm a KEF fan, but they are harder to find. Tho I believe One Call carries them (or they did).

Haven't heard them but you might be able to audition them near where you live.
