If it has to be from that list, Yamaha VR-663. Polk speakers and the klipsch sub-10.

darkpoet25 · 09-25-2008, 04:21 PM

I would say the Yamaha rx-v663bl reciever as it has the 192/24 burr brown d/a converters, as does the Pioneer. For speakers I'd say the Klipsh Quintet III's and the Sub-10. The only thing is the Yamaha reciever has only two HDMI inputs, so unless you have more than say a BR player and a cable/satellite box, this should be fine.

How about this for a sub?

I've noticed people including you are trying to get people to get those. Are those subs that good?

For the price, yes. For more you can get an AV123 MFW-15, which is even better.

arush5268d · 09-25-2008, 09:12 PM

Please strike the Bose speakers from your list. You deserve better than that

My_Two_Cents · 09-25-2008, 09:21 PM

Receiver:

Onkyo 605/606/705 (Yamaha V663, if I had to choose from your list)

Speakers:

#1 Klipsch Quintet III
#2 Polk RM85

Oh, and please don't even consider anything Bose! Trust us on this one.

Sub:

Personally, I like this one. I have one, and it rocks! You can typically find it on eBay (new) for $250 shipped. The one from Driver_King is also good.

Yes.

callas01 · 09-25-2008, 10:23 PM

I like Sony, but if you are looking at buying those I would say to switch the 820 for the 920 and at ugotadeal.com you can get it for $399. Then I would say go either the Sony 920 or an Onkyo 606.

Speakers, I don't like Klipsch, but they are a favorite around these parts, so I would say Polk. your choice.

Sub... go with Driver King's suggestion.

Yamaha RX-V663. Polk RM85. eD a2-300.

Sold! Do that. That's a great set-up right there!

I pick these

tuco87 · 09-26-2008, 07:34 PM

You can also consider the following set of speakers:

JBL CS6100BG. It's a 5.1 system that I personally have. I honestly think they're some of the best "bang for your buck" speaker systems you could get. I expanded it to a 7.1 system by adding 2 Polk RM 101 satellites. I absolutely love these speakers and they look and sound great! I have them paired with an Onkyo 606.

Here's a link to them:

http://www.amazon.com/JBL-CS6100BG-C...2457543&sr=8-1

Amazon currently doesn't have them in stock, but you could also try eBay. That's where I bought them! I bought them from a seller called "E-warehouse". A great seller!
