QUiKSR20 Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Is that under $2000 for just the speakers? Or for speakers, sub, reciever, and dvd? ------------------ Thanks, Daryl Gregg MY Home Theatre Page Sony STR-DE975 HT Reciever Sony DVP-NS400D DVD SB-3 Mains SC-1 Center Quintet Rears KSW-12 Sub AR Proseries Interconects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Although you do not have Good Guys in New York, they have 6-peice Klipsch speaker systems for ~$1500. If you need EVERYTHING for $2000, got a 32" TV (~$600), DVD player (~$200), Receiver (~$300), and a small Klipsch speaker system (~$900). It would be a very nice system, and if set up properly (well help!) will be 90% of what we ($$$) have. I think, if you shop wisly, $2000 will be fine to get a nice system. Good luck, give us more feedback for more info! ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.

bigdog Posted April 2, 2002 Author Share Posted April 2, 2002 just 2k for the speakers what should i get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Oh good, $2000 will get you mad speakers. 1st recommendation, maybe a little pricy: -RF-3II: dual 8" main speakers, VERY nice ($800 list) -RC-3II: Nice center channel ($350 list) -RS-3II: Nice surround speakers ($550 list) -RSW-10: Very nice 10" subwoofer ($1000 list) -TOTAL LIST: $2,700, if you shop hard, you could get this for under $2,000 Synergy, cheaper, but still good: -SF-2: Nice floorstanding speakers, main ($650 list) -SC-1: Nice center channel speaker ($280 list) -SS-1: Nice surrounds ($400 list) -KSW-15: BIG 15" subwoofer, lower bass, but not as "clean" as the RSW-10 ($750 list) -TOTAL LIST: $2,080, you could get this for around $1,500 if you shop hard. Get better components if you can afford it. Good luck! ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, I AM NOT THE TOTAL KING HERE!!! ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.

rocmuzo Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 I just picked up a pair of rf-3's and an rc-3. $700 for all three. If you have the time and patience to shop around, you can save some $$$. svs sub (about $700 shipped) is due to arrive friday. can't wait! Check out their subs at www.svssubwoofers.com.

Stu Pidass Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 OK $2,000 for speakers? If you don't mind affording the room you'll need for them, how about this? Remember this is well under $2,000. 1 - Mains - Cornwall 1's - $800 -$1,000 (Ebay or local if lucky)Something from the mid 70's or so. Alnico magnets and Type B crossover. OOOOH Ya!!!! 2 - Centre - Heresy (1) - $175 - $225 From the same vintage as mains. 3 - Surrounds - Heresy's (2) - $375 - $450 (pair) Same vintage as above. Another option is to go with a complete Heresy system. It won't kick butt like the Cornwall mains but will take less room, cost less and will be no slouch. These are used...yes used, but don't let that turn you off. The 70's heritage Klipsch line is very VERY arguably better than anything they now offer new. The horn loaded mid makes all the difference.
