New member Username: Tossurboss2002Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Hi All, I am planning to buy Klipsh speaker system(Quintet III) in the range of $500 for 4 sattlite speaker and one center channel speaker. Along with this speakers which is the best subwoofer i can buy, Velodyne dps12 or Klipsch sub12.? i am confused, both of them are in the price range of 500$. 2) For the above speaker and Subwoofer package what is the best and reasonable Receiver you guys can suggest. I am looking at Harman's AVR 240 or Onkyo 702/3. Max for Receiver i want to invest is $500. Please share your exper opinions. Thanks in advance |

However, you can get a better performing subwoofer in the same price range if you are willing to purchase your subwoofer over the internet from www.hsuresearch.com they design and build just subwoofers, and have mastered the black art of getting a low cost sub to sound excellent. |
