Hey guys, i am new in the home theater field and am looking to purchase something very good that will fulfil my needs. The Onkyo sr606 was referred to me and seems to be the best buy for my budget and needs.
I am looking for a nice speakers setup that will compliment the receiver. I am on a budget and would appreciate it if someone can advise any nice speakers.
No idea about the Onkyos. Also, you say you're on a budget but not what budget so limited help.
My usual recommendation for that receiver is the Focal Sib/Cub system which works really well. There are others of course. Look at Kef's KHT2005.2, Mission's M-cube, Monitor Audio's Radius.
my budget for the total home theater is around 600. It can be a little bit more than that....that includes a receiver - which is goign to cost me about 300ish. The rest is for speakers so we are looking at around 300 for speakers...i know it is very hard to find nice speakers in that price range..but that is all i have to work with. I personally would want to save up and buy things seperately but i sorta have to meet a deadline - superbowl time....i am already busing out with 1600 for a lcd...i just want a decent home theater setup
You can get a Harman Kardon receiver and a 5.1 infinity setup for just above you budget. You'll have to do it by auction rather than the "Buy it Now" feature...however it may get you what you want on a budget.
Costco in my area had a set of Energy 5.1 speakers for $300 or $350, last one in the store. Find those anywhere near that price and you cannot go wrong.
