Big Piney Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I want to upgrade my home theater which also serves as my music source. I have a Sony STR-DE998 receiver 120 watt/ch 7.1. My main speakers are Klipsch KG 5.2. I have a pretty good center channel speaker (not Klipsch). I need a sub, 2 side surround and 2 rear surrounds. Any suggestions as to what would be compatible with the KG 5.2's. And all for under $750 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi, anything out of the Kg line would mate well. As for a sub, I believe the Sub 12 can be had for around $450, or one of the DIY kits, available from Parts Express. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-762 These are nice, well designed subs, and take about an hour to assemble. However at $536(+free ship), you'll only have $215 left, for your 2 prs of surrounds. 1 pr. this year(5.1) and another next(7.1)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Piney Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thank you for the reply and suggestion. Since the KG line is no longer in production I guess I am out of luck. Maybe some of the new surrounds would work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Why not buy them used, from Ebay, www.audiogon.com, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Why not buy them used, from Ebay, www.audiogon.com, etc... OR right here on the forum, give this post a couple of days, you will get some responses, take your time, I think there is a great sub deal under Powered Subs, check it out, there are helpful people on this forum, much knowledge to be had, and alot of opinions.

ironwoods Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Actually, being the the frugal cheepskate that I am, used is the only way to go with audio gear. Take advantage of those that must always have the latest and greatest. Patience will proove itself in the end. However, and in my experience, a better deal will usually show up immediately after a purchase. Keep an eye on various *local* markets as well.

Big Piney Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I will look around for some used items. Thanks. Also, I have the capability to use my KG 5.2's as a separate front speaker system for audio and could still hook up a complete surround system to use for movies and music dvd's. That would take care of the compatability issue. I have been looking at the Quintet II and III system's. Again, thanks for the time and suggestions.
