Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and I am putting together my first Home Theatre system. Let's start with what I already got.
- Klipsch Synergy F2 tower speakers
- Velodyne DPS-12 Subwoofer
Ideally I would like to setup a 7.1 surround sound system, but I would not mind a 5.1 for now and add two speakers later. Here are few options that I was considering.
Option 1:
Buy Klipsch Quintet II or Quintet III MicroSystem and make a 7.1 surround sound system, i.e. F2s for front Quintet will make the surround, back and centre speaker. I am just not sure, if Quintet will work well with Synergy F2.
Option 2:
Buy a pair of Synergy B2 and a C2, and make a 5.1 surround sound system for now, and add two speakers later.
Option 3: I can return the Velodyne DPS12 and buy a Bose Acoustimass® 10 Speakers System, that will also complete my 7.1 surround system.
This is my first time buy receiver as well, my budget allows only about $500 for the receiver. I am considering Harman Kardon AVR247, Denon AVR788, 688 or even 588, Yamaha HTR6060 or if you guys think of some other receiver plese advise. I have concerns with each of the receiver and don't know how it will affect the system; for example, HK and Yamaha use HDMI v. 1.2a and also not sure if HK got enough power or not. Denon seems to be the right answer...
I am working on a budget, that's why I am buying one piece at a time. If you have any suggestions or thoughts please do post them. I talk to guys in the Best Buy they know even less than me but obviously they pretend to know it all.
Thanks Guys.
