I am looking for a few things: 1) Stylish Speakers that are wall mounted 2) Quality Sound 3) A Decent Receiver that can switch my different HD sources This is what I am considering at this point. I may be going overboard on the receiver, but am looking for ideas on that. Receiver Choice #1 HK AVR 635 - $599 http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4020306 Receiver Choice #2 Pioneer VSX-1015TXK 7.1 Channel Surround Sound THX http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00092REF8 Speakers: Onkyo SKS-HT240 http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/details/544235748 What does everyone think? Any other suggestions? Style is important on speakers as well as the sound quality. All the reviews people rave about these speaker for price/value ratio. Thoughts? Also...are these receivers able to output to a 6.1 system? |

New member Username: PbigatelPost Number: 5 Registered: May-06 | makes sense...so I gouess my question would become...how do I create a high style system for that price range. As you may remember Edster from previous posts, I do have a sub and rears I could potentially use. I really want the front and center channels to be wall mounted and really cool looking though(to keep my wife happy). Then...I need a receiver to pull it all together. ohhh...such a hard decision with far too many choices. |
