SPORTS96 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I am selling my house and am including the bose that I currently have with the house. So I want to get something new for the house. I dont want to send much more than about $1,500 if possible. I need everything receiver and speakers, I do have a sony dvd player. Do you think that this is doable? If so any recommendations on a reciever and speakers would be greatly appreciated. My dad currently has some Klipsch speakers for his surround sound and they sound louder as far as bass goes than my old Bose. I heard that you want to spend most of your money on the speakers and less on the receiver, is this what you would recommend. Thanks for any help I need all the help I can get last time i listened to the wrong person and spend $3,000 on a Bose Lifestyle 35. I dont want to make the same mistake again.

oldtimer Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Some more specifics would help. Such as have you any idea how large the new room will be? Do you want surround or are you looking for a two channel system. Since you posted in HT I would guess you are looking for surround. Are you willing to be patient for used or do you want to buy new? You can do better used but some won't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPORTS96 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 The room is 19' x 18'. I am looking for a surround sound system. I prefer new (warranty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I would budget most of your cash on speakers and buy a cheap receiver and upgrade it later when funds allow, for that matter, get a decent used one for really cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerTomato Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Do you have room for floorstanding mains, or do you prefer bookshelf? I would buy a $200 5.1 receiver, and then get the RF-82's for mains with the RC-62 Center (approx. $1200). Then, when your budget allows, add two RS-52 surrounds for approx. $600, and a used subwoofer. You can just buy "filler" speakers until you can get good ones for dirt cheap, for your surrounds and your rears. You want a good foundation, and the RF-82/RC-62 combo is sooooooo nice. Maybe not "fire-breathing dragon" RF-83/RC-64 nice, but very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Agreed, a great combo to get you going, you don't need all your speaks at once, I built my first system bit by bit and I am still doing it....LOL, time for that RC64 upgrade I do believe.

getech Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 With your budget, check out Target...they have some actually nice Fischer like components that could fit your situation. Also Walmart always has some good Audivox stuff. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hello and Welcome: Just buy a pair of Used Cornwall's and a decent 2 channel receiver. Plenty of bass and awesome mids and highs. Later Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Nasty Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 RF 82 and RC 62 for around US$1000 new then add rears later on. Check this site http://stores.ebay.com/AVB-Direct_Speakers_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ12QQftidZ2QQtZkm One of my mate got a pair of RB 61 from them and he is very pleased with the seller.

jamesV Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Where are you located? Maybe someone here can help out on a deal at a local store if you live near them. I do agree with, getting your mains first and building from there when money is available. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
