I work at bestbuy and get a significant discount on speakers there. While not opposed to buying else where, I want good bang for the buck. I'm putting together a home theater setup for my apartment. Just a college student working at bestbuy. I didn't like any of of the recievers are bestbuy, so I ordered a Denon 1804 online which should arrive any day now. I got a 36" sony vega, xbox, and sony DVD player to hook up, and now need speakers. Room is a small apartment. I want towers up front, and something small for the rear.
So, out of the brands bestbuy sells, any suggestions or places online to get better equipment for the price. I got $600-900 to spend. The sf2s sound ok, but not great. The new JBL E series are pretty impressive. Reading on this board, everyone pretty much hates the synergy series, but for my cost on them, can I do better? Figure about 40% off what bestbuy charges on any speakers. The athenas sound good also but I don't like their center or sub.
I was thinking of maybe ordering a quintet set, using the center and rears, then getting some towers for up front. Probably a KSW-10 sub unless I can do better for the price.
