Hi, I'm trying to create a decent 6.1 system on a very limited budget. (Less than $1500 total)
This is what I'm looking at
Klipsch Synergy System 6 - $700 online, $999 MSRP
JVC RX-8020VBK Receiver - $350 online, $450 MSRP
Toshiba SD-5700 DVD player - $230 online, $400 MSRP
Klipsch SC.5 Center Channel- $120 online, $179 MSRP
OR
Klipsch SC-1 Center Channel- $179 online, $280 MSRP
Total: $1,400-$1,459 online, $2,028-$2,129 MSRP
How does this sound?
I like the JVC receiver because it has a pretty good price for a Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES capable system, and it has front-panel USB input. I also like the Toshiba because it's pretty cheap for a progressive-scan DVD player and it can also play DVD-Audio and HDCD.
Which center channel do you suggest? Should I get another SC.5 to match the one that comes with the Klipsch Synergy 6, or should I buy a SC-1 center channel for the front, and use the SC.5 that comes with the Klipsch Synergy 6 as a rear center?
Below are some links to the Toshiba and JVC equipment. Thanks in advance.
