5.1 Speaker System help.....

[ijokr]

I recently bought an onkyo 605 receiver and I was thinking of buying the polk 5.1 speaker system ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218046802946 ) but then I saw a 5.1 boston acoustics speaker system ( http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Acousti...6579678&sr=1-1 ). What are you´re thoughts, which one do you prefer?

They both are very identical in terms of specs. However, I'd give the slight edge to the Bostons.

neither. save a little longer and piece together your own speakers. even if you have to start with just your 2 mains and work from there, its a better way to go than a HTIB. Check on craigslist. people sell really nice complete speaker sets on there everyday.

+1....save up for a good pair of fronts and center first...otherwise you'll regret it when you eventually find out how much sound your missing....and you go out and buy new speakers again shortly hereafter.

Build slow as everyone has said,

FYI, there are Def. Techs Bi-pols BP6B on sales at 6ave & onecall.com for around $297 a pair, or I just got some Energy C-300s for $250 a pair @ wwstereo.com. There are some good prices out there right now, shop and you can find them.
