Elemental Designs A2-300 - $350 shipped

I would definitely grab those Polk Monitor 60's right away, because that's an awesome price. And if you can't afford an entire system right now, then at least start with the basics: your 2 tower speakers and a receiver. And from there, continue building a quality system when your wallet allows it

So that's $870 right there, and you can get the CS2 center speaker for even cheaper when it goes on sale (newegg often has sales for Polk speakers). Lots of people have come on here for advice and ordered a system like this and been very happy with it. Take a look around and you'll see lots of Polk systems in peoples galleries. And the A2-300 subwoofer is pretty much the "best bang for your buck" sub out there right now, most everyone on here will agree

You can get a pretty nice receiver for around $500 that power your system nicely. This would be a pretty sweet setup

And for all of your speaker and home theater cable needs, go to monoprice.com. It's the most recommended cable site on this forum, and have left a lot of us happy with their inexpensive, quality products. Hope this helps

+1 def look into the polks they always have great sale for them. the 60s are the lowest i seen them, two for 220 is a steal. the 40's were always 150, and the lowest i saw cs2 were like 110. i bought these back couple months ago when they were the reg price and i dont regret getting them. they are great speakers will improve your movie experience with each movie u watch.

i been also reading the eD thread and there are many happy owners of the a2-300. that sub is a beast. best bang for your bucks. im thinking about buying an ed a2-300 but i dont know if i should be spending a lot before black friday
