justin_tx_16 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 The Klipsch Quintets or for a few hundred more (but more than worth it) the Synergy 6 any denon or onkyo receiver/amp that fits your price range same goes for the DVD/CD/SACD player, except personally I would add SONY to that list. all and all, this could be done for eunder $2000. do you need a TV? what do you have now? anything at all? anything like a computer you want to hook up to it or is this mostly for home theater and audio? not for gaming and whatnot. ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasN00b Posted June 10, 2002 Author Share Posted June 10, 2002 how does the synergy 6 sound? tv is not a prob this is only for audio and home theater how loud does the synergy 6 get? ------------------ --------------------- I.

QUiKSR20 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Synergy 6 will be very loud providing you get a decent reciever. Klipsch speakers are very efficient. First thing before we can really help you. You must let us know what your budget is for this. And then we can go from there. Without that its hard to recomend something. ------------------ Thanks, Daryl Gregg MY Home Theatre Page HK AVR-510 Reciever Sony DVP-NS400D DVD SB-3 Mains SC-1 Center Quintet Rears KSW-12 Sub AR Proseries Interconects R.I.P.

Audible Nectar Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 jasnoob - have you considered used Heritage Klipsch speakers? You can get Heresys, Fortes, Chorus or Cornwalls for a small percentage of new prices if you keep your eyes open. If you don't need to do it all at once, you can get serious performance for department store prices, with some effort. Heritage speakers last for years, so if they are found in good condition, they will stay that way with reasonable care. This board is a good source for these, as well as newspapers, online ads and auctions, flea markets - wherever used gear may be sold. Also used: Kg series is worth looking at, and is reasonable. The Synergy series is good for the dollar, too. The system 6 would be a decent system that could be done in one shot, without going broke. ------------------ Klipsch Cornwall II's (mains) Klipsch Academy (center channel) Klipsch Chorus (surrounds) Outlaw 750 Amplifier (5x165) H/K AVR 75 (used as pre/pro - will be upgraded soon) Bass Kit: 2 JBL 4638 LFE/Bass Reinforcement cabinets Crown CE 1000 amplifier Behringer Feedback Destroyer (Bass EQ) Sources: Pioneer DV-333 2 Aiwa ADF-850 3 head cassette decks General Instruments cable box Panasonic VHS PV-4459 Digital Audio Labs CardDeluxe (computer sound) f> c> s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 the synergy 6 gets too loud you should not be wanting any more volume what they give you for movies, you can not have an open air concert with them, but you can certainly have a living room concert with ease. heritage classic speakers, for sure the best bang for the buck. some require corners and are somewhat large, so make sure you get the right speakers for you room when you look at these. we can help out with that. i put my vote for the Synergy System 6. ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Klipsch System 6 Outlaw Audio 1050 receiver Toshiba 5700 DVD DVD A(HDCD too I think) Pretty hot system, all under warranty for about $1800 including tax and maybe some entry level cabling.

tripod Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I also recommend the System 6. It has all the speakers you need in one bundle, including a subwoofer. You might want to check out acousticsounddesign.com. I bought a center channel speaker from them last week and got a great price and great service. They currently have the system 6 on sale. I copied the following text from their webiste: "Special Price: $699.00 The Synergy System 6 is the worlds only horn-loaded home theater system under $1,000. The nine pound, 12.5-inch SB-1 mains, multi-angle enclosure center channel and 180° surrounds all utilize square Tractrix® Horns, delivering consistent, balanced, high-performance sound across the board. The system comes with a KSW-10 subwoofer to maximize every explosion, car chase and shoot-out. As youd expect, the Synergy System 6 has the appealing, stealth-like styling of its larger Synergy counterparts. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
