Speaker suggestions please

[obiwopkenobi62]

Hi all,
I'm getting close to replacing all my speakers in the next couple of months. Everything I have is in my sig. What I want to so is get a new 5.1 set that will sound great but won't break the bank. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 5-600 bucks. What does everyone suggest? Klipch, JBL etc. I also want to go fairly small with the speakers so I can possibly mount them on the walls.
Thanks in advance.

$500-600 for a complete set of new 5.1 speakers?

Hmm, this could be tough. Let's see what I can do for you.

A pair of Polk Audio Monitor 50s: ($150/ea from Amazon) (PS - these are floorstanders though, but small ones)

Polk Audio CS1 Center Channel: ($100 from Amazon)

a eD A2-300 Subwoofer: ($315 at their website with free ship: http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...roducts_id=407) (PS - also a fairly large sub, but the best in its price range!)

And use your current speakers as your rears/surrounds.

This are fairly larger than you might want though, but the sound quality would be nice. If you want to go for wall mounting, then try this handy set that this forum and I love to recommend:

Polk RM6750 5.1 ($250): http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Cha...1061474&sr=8-1

I think - there might be other offerings that I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll look into it...

Thanks, I'll check those out. I really want to retire my Bose 101's and 201's and use them for music only in the back room of my house. I may be able to spend a little more if I have to.

These are a nice set, the only thing is that you have to buy your Sub separate.
Excellent value for the money.

That's a nice set. How would that be with my Sony 12" powered sub? Also how does that set compare to this one? http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Cha...1061474&sr=8-1
Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
