Baddog posted:Am I crazy for mixing klipsch and monoprice speakers? In general, it's not super critical to use matching speakers for the front and surrounds. However, the tweeter has a big effect on the particular sound of a speaker, and given that these two speakers have radically different tweeter designs (horn vs dome), the difference in their sound may be more apparent. I don't know if it's something you'd notice or not, but just something to consider.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Yeah I have one RCA jack that says Subwoofer. This is a popular <$200 sub: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-633 I have an earlier, down-firing version. It's decent enough for movies, though a bit too boomy for music (though this could probably be improved if I had better room acoustics). They also have an 8" one for only $90.

ILikeVoltron posted:Is it crazy for me to go with a 3.0 setup rather than a 3.1? Do you need to get everything at the same time? If not, I'd think about starting with just the fronts and see how well movie dialogue sounds with a phantom center (assuming your seating is positioned on the line between the fronts). If it works, I'd go for a sub. If the dialogue is hard to understand during scenes with a lot of background noise or you want to be able to watch without sitting in the "sweet spot", then get a center instead.

inklesspen posted:That set's already at about the top end of my budget, though. Is this speaker set any better? I haven't heard these speakers in particular, but I do use the same brand and this looks like a pretty good deal if you must by a package: http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/544779013/boston-acoustics-cs2310b

Giblet posted:Yeah I figured my idea wasn't the greatest. I just got everything in to hookbit all up so I think I'll try both ways quick just for kicks. Some receivers allow you to use the extra channels for front presence or height speakers if rears are not an option.

Mulloy posted:So after weighing options and reading around and based on my living room being fairly small I went ahead and picked up the ps52/nr616 setup listed earlier. How high are the surrounds? If they're at ear level, maybe try raising them up a couple of feet.

tarepanda posted:Yamaha is OK, then? I was confused since I never really see anyone talk about their stuff and whenever I go to a high-end sound store, it's always Onkyo, Denon, McIntosh, Bowers & Wilkins, etc. So I figured they must be kind of crappy, like... Logitech or something. Yamaha is more than okay as far as receivers go. On par with Denon. They're not known for their speakers, however (though I'm sure they're better than Logitech).

tarepanda posted:What do you guys use for universal remotes for your receiver + TV + everything else? The Logitech Harmony remotes are pretty popular. I use a Harmony One. The newer ones have apps so you can use a smartphone or tablet as a remote, as well.
