Best REAR speakers for around $200 - Blu-ray Forum

Goldensuitcase · 01-18-2010, 12:56 AM

I was going to get the Klipsch S-3's, but they are not longer available NEW for that price so I'm wondering what I should be looking for now. I have a week or two to decide so please, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, guys.

What do you have for the rest of your speakers?

Look at the Polk FXi Series speakers. I think you can get them for between $200-300 a pair.

I think polk has an ebay store, or on their own website, they have a polk direct store.

I'm still seeing prices around $500. Can someone provide a link to where they are around $200-$300?

honestly if you can't find them for the price you are looking for, save up and get the axiom speakers that I posted a link for, they are quite possibly the best bi-pole/quad-pole speakers you will ever find.

I understand what you are saying, but this will be a gift from my parents and I don't want them spending over $200. I know I can get GOOD speakers for that price. I don't need the best or amazing. I need something that will satisfy me until I move into a bigger place where I will then put more money towards better speakers. For now, something comparable to the Klipsch s-3's would be a nice start.

Thank you

Is there something wrong with that, if that is what the poster wants?

ImaZero13 · 01-18-2010, 06:11 PM

have you considered the s-1's or s-2's since you are looking to upgrade later on? i have the s-1's for my rears and i love them! in my small space the larger ones would have been too much as i was also looking at the s-3s in the begining. s-1's on sale at amazon for $139 http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Synergy-Surround-Speaker-Black/dp/B000XLMXCO
