Looking for feedback on sound system

[bobmeyer]

Hey guys, I was looking to get a surround system. Now I have never had one or really listened to a proper one(theaters not counting). I have done a little research and this is what i've come up with.

for the reciever

and for the speakers

I have a good feeling on the receiver. I think I want to get that receiver so im ready down the line and hook up to a 5.1 for now. My room is very small (14x10or so). Speakers match my room, not that that really matters but they look decent with an okay starter amp included. What do you guys think? Anyone have any better ideas on speakers?


*edit* Budget is an issue, thinking about spending no more than 200$ on speaker set hopefully with sub. I know it wont be perfect but a huge upgrade over shotty tv speakers.

Pretty funny thread title, though I believe it wasn't intentional.

You'd probably be best off asking Solid Lifters or Digital-Nitrate. 👍

The only thing I see wrong with that receiver is there are no pre outs. I just bought a denon 1909 and wanted to buy some larger front speakers. I need an external amp to really push the speakers like they should be. I didn't realize that the receiver needed pre outs to hook rca wires up to the amp to send the signal to it. So if you ever want to upgrade your speakers to some larger ones that require more power then 90 watts, you couldn't do it with that receiver. But if you never plan on buying very large speakers, then the pre outs wouldn't be an issue. The speakers I wanted had 2 7 inch woofers, and a 6 1/2 inch mid.
And as far as buying the receiver goes you might want to check out this store online.http://www.digitalmegastore.com/ They don't have that receiver in stock, but they have a wide selection at very good prices.
I got a great deal on my receiver, saved 200$

Here is a good cheap place to buy pretty good speakers.http://stores.ebay.com/Polk-Audio-Direct_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsxQ3asstQQtZkm
I bought an rm95 pack straight from polk before I found out about their e bay store. I could have gotten a lot better system for the same amount of money, if I would have known about this place.
My rm 8's are just small speakers but they sound really good for their size.
It looks like they have the rm6750 surround sound setup. You save 400$ on it from their.
The store adds new speakers almost daily, but the also remove them too. I missed out on the ones I wanted already, because I didn't act fast enough. But if I wait long enough, they might come back again.
I don't really now what everyone thinks about polk, but I really like the speakers I got from them.
