Silver Member Username: RedrangeMo Hill, California Post Number: 115 Registered: Apr-05 | Im looking to get 2 floor stnading speakers(i have 2 Kenwood JL-S170 and love them-old but awsome)a solid reciever/amp to power the 2 speakers and a 12' sub. Im new to home audio so i dont really know wut is needed, but i just want a simple setup for a room that me and my friends can watch movies, and play games in and can sound good. If you can i will most likley buy used if u can give me speaker names that are of good quality and costly-not cheap that would be great...ask any questions u may have and thanks guys |

Silver Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 762 Registered: Feb-04 | 4-Way Output Dual 6.5" Subwoofers 3" Sealed Back Midrange 2" Tweeter I really doubt they are really 4-way. It's likely that the two subwoofers (now that's funny too) are driving the same frequencies. You can find them for $44.75 on the net, outside of ebay! |

Silver Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 765 Registered: Feb-04 | They are going to sound like what they are going to sounds like... No garantees there. But if $89.95 is what you are willing to spend, then how can you possibly go wrong? Buy 'em and see. I'd be worried about the shipping: US $29.95 + $29.95 each additional item. If he charging $29.95 or $29.95 x 6 items! (why is he calling this 6.1 if there's no sub?) |

Silver Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 766 Registered: Feb-04 | Neither, really. Looking deeper into this, the KS-401HT speakers are sold here for $60 each without any sort of warranty, plus shipping. If one was to buy 5, then they would sell for $300 plus shipping. They originally retailed for $500 with sub and receiver included! So $300 is overpriced... However, given that you only want two you're not going to be spending much. Buy Fluance SV-6 instead for the same price. People seem to like 'em for the price (I've never heard them). http://www.fluance.com/fldyhidetwbo.html |

Aside from the Fluance, check out Best Buy for closeout deals on the Athena speakers. For the amp, go to Harman Direct on eBay and get yourself a Harman Kardon 3480 for around $150-200 with full original warranty, 120wpc should be plenty. For the sub, go to partsexpress.com and search for the Dayton 10" sub for abour $145 shipped. |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 804 Registered: Feb-05 | Peter, don't expect most posters to acknowledge your efforts-ain't gonna happen. Folks are a lot more willing to criticize than they are to compliment. Envy is a dangerous thing. I'm just glad that the poster bothered to thank anyone. I post to assist. Whether they thank me or not is irrelevant. With expectations so low, it's difficult for me to become disappointed. Tell Edster good job and move on. |
