$700 to spend on 5.1 Home Theatre speaker setup.

[gymfreak101 10+ year member]

Need recommendations on a speaker setup. Should I build it all myself and what speakers would you suggest. Or should I just buy a in the box set such as Boston or whatever. I have been looking at Madisound all morning and my head is just hurting. My theatre room is 14x 14 so not that huge.

Do you need a receiver as well, or just the speakers?

No I have a brand new Yamaha reciever.

Box sets are usually good, but sometimes are a pain in the a**. Most of the time they make box sets so the speakers only work with that reciever, or vice versa. However I brought a samsung box set, kept the speakers, brought a Yamaha A/V reciever (got it super cheap, a friend works a BB) and a Yamaha amplified subwoofer. Total cost around 530.

This 5.0 set

This SUB

A little under your budget, but should sound good. Don't let the little Polk speakers fool you, if properly set up, it shouldn't disappoint.

B&W is a great company. Build a sub to go with it, and you'll be laughing.

Without sub, you can probably find it cheaper somewhere else.
