[H.C. Spilk]

I am looking to get a surround sound unit for the TV room. What is good that will not break the bank?____

P.s. I have a set of the horns but they will saty in the living room, and not in the TV room. H.C.S.

H.C. Spilk,

Welcome to the forum.

I am looking to get a surround sound unit for the TV room.

Are you looking for a sub/satellite system, bookshelf system or tower speaker system? Do you need receiver, BD player, speakers, sub?

What is good that will not break the bank?

Give us some figures that will not break your bank.

Are you open for used gear?

Where are you located? We can better serve you if we know your general location so we too can look for good deals on your local craigslist, ebay, audiogon, etc.

I am looking for something to play the Blue Ray movies with and I just bought the Klispch 500 surround speaker system, and reading the "light" paperwrok included, I see I need a surround sound unit to drive this system

We have a Plasma TV, but it is feed with satellite. This is no biggie since Blue Ray movies have what we want as entertainment.

Costco has a Pioneer unti that looks likeit may work,

Pioneer
7.1 Channel Elite A/V Receiver
3D Ready

Made For iPhone®
Ethernet Port
6 HDMI Inputs & 1 HDMI Output

Item # 550821

but being out of the Stereo Loop for quite some time, I find this type of Forum is the best resource.

We have the Klispch Horns, but they are too big for the sun room, thus I want something smaller an dneed to learn what is out there.

Thanks again. H.C.S.

Klipsch has numerous "systems" that can be purchased and paired with a receiver. Price ranges vary. That is why others asked for the price range. You have 5.1 systems that cost around $500. up to Reference systems that cost $6000. Price has a huge bearing. Icon and Synerfy have a cost in between those prices. Also, you can build the system a few pieces at a time.

From Klipsch:

For a smaller satellite system, you could look at the HD Theater 500 system. $599

You could step up to a bookshelf system. RB61ii setup round $1400

Say Floorstanders: Maybe a RF62ii system round $2225

Out of the reference line into the Synergy line for $1776 F-30 system:

Or Hit the top of the reference line. RF7ii setup for $5695

Hello Beach Nut, I bought the Klispch HD 500 system and upon opening it I see I need to buy a "Surround Sound" receiver/amplifier/switch.

Being out of the home entertainment systems for a long time, I see I need to come up to speed. I looked at the Pioneer VSX-31, and think this may be a initial level box to get.

Keeping in mind, my blue ray movies with surround sound will be the main use.

Any feedback is appreciated. H.C.S.

If your looking for a receiver there are a few good ones for sale in the garage sale section including one im selling Yamaha HTR5990

Here is a couple of $400 Onkyo's from www.accessories4less.com Does $400 break the bank??

Onkyo HT-RC180 More networking capability here

Onkyo TX-NR708 Pretty straight forward with 1.4 HDMI to do 3D television if that's for you. Front HDMI and USB.

For $229 you could go with Onkyo TX-NR509

Just get a Pioneer, Sony, Onkyo or other name brand with at least 100 watts/channel. That will be more than enough power. Feature at this level will be important. I have this system and think it performs well for a HT/Music system. Don't let this little guy fool ya, this little HT rocks!
