Do you already own a receiver? What is the maximum are you willing to spent?

[spcamaj]

no i dont have any reciver and im willing to spend like 1.5k if not less then that but i want a good system

[spcamaj]

I have a sony XBR 1080p tv and a ps3 80 gig and 101 blurays i think i need help picking out a cheap but kickass system

[JasonR]

What kind of BDP are you using?

[spcamaj]

Im using a ps3 80gig

[JasonR]

This is what I went with, under the same budget constraints. The receiver could be replaced with the Onkyo 605, 606, 705, 706, 805, 806, Yamaha V663, or a Pioneer 1018 and probably still fit your budget.

Edit: For the PS3, the Marantz 4001 and up will work as well.

that does seem good but is it true polk is made more for music then movies?

[JasonR]

Rule of thumb, if it is good for music it is good for movies.

[spcamaj]

ok cool do u think i can pull off with 1k?

[JasonR]

Also, best advice is to go out and have a listen for yourself. I am just telling you what I did under the same budget constraints.

[spcamaj]

also i think bookshelf ones would be better u wanna see a pic of my room?

[JasonR]

I think you could get it in under a grand if you look around for deals, and look at different options on the receiver.

[JasonR]

If you want bookshelves, swap the Monitor 50s for Monitor 30s or 40s and you are good.

[spcamaj]

IM gonna go with the Polk Audio Monitor 30s i think they r better for my room

[spcamaj]

and u think that receiver is good for that also?

I like that receiver, but a lot of people like Onkyo, Marantz, Pioneer, or Yamaha.

It really is up to the buyer, all the receivers I mentioned will do what you need.

[spcamaj]

thats alot for your help man it helped me out alot now im looking into building a Polk Audio Monitor system but i think im gonna do a onkyo receiver

[JasonR]

Sounds like a good place to start, I am very happy with my purchases. Enjoy!
