Energy isn't a bad company either......you would just have to buy their entry level.

I thought that setup sounded like poop when I heard it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
For the money, the Klipsch promedia sounds way better, but I would check on the amp to see if they have fixed the design yet

Thats cause Klipsch uses a horn tweeter. Finding a brand new promedia ultra 5.1 is going to be hard. But like ya, for me I had Klipsch promedia 4.1 before, it sounded good but the subwoofer wasn't loud enough. The logitech may sound boomier than the Klipsch, but its way louder than it lol. Logitech speakers are also made by Tang Band. Oh yeah for 500 bucks I would check into Onkyo HTIB.

best overall sound comes from components

I have heard some decent HT in a box but they all felt empty

best bet is to get a decent reciver and then build from thier

I agree with saving or logitech Z-5500.

any logitech set up ive ever heard was bass heavy

not in a good way. Just deep nasty bass.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

mostly cause the logitech amp and the enclosure. I also run a Klipsch RSW-10 for my home audio setup, now thats quality lol.

I'm going to be building the Tritrix from Partsexpress for my front's and surrounds. Supposedly that's the best bang for your buck if you want to go the DIY route.

I can get you the dayton 5.1 system with 12" powered subwoofer for $185.00 brand new. I am a dayton dealer, it's a good system for what you want to do. I do have some references.

never heard of dayton before... are they pretty good?

 

[David19 10+ year member]

Do you already have a surround sound reciever?
DVD?

Naw, nothing yet.

Energy is owned by klipsch so they have some decent stuff

 

[Farmacist 10+ year member]

Axiom and Paradigm are really good for quality and a bang for your buck

also would look into yamaha RX-line receivers

Naw, nothing yet.

Did you seriously think you were going to get "Best" surround sound reciever, DVD, 5 speakers and a sub for $200-$250?

You said "speakers".

Do you have a stereo now?

You don't have a DVD player? They are like $70.

If your that tight for cash, I suggest a basic $70-$99 DVD player, a $100 stereo reciever and decent pair of 2 way speakers with a 10" or 12 " woofer and a tweeter. $300 for the pair, plus some cheap speaker cable (or "Zip/lamp cord") from home depot.

You can always upgrade to "surround" sound later just by adding 3 more decent speakers. Good sound from two decent speaker would be better than bad surround sound from a crappy system.

Dayton is nice stuff. Read the reviews on partsexpress.com Im also a dealer for pioneer and yamaha. The yamaha receivers are really nice but a little more pricey. The new pioneer 5.1 receivers for the money are a really good buy too.
