Surround Speaker Systems?

Question

What would you suggest as speaker setup to be coupled with (5.1 or 6.1for now) AV RECIVER - 120 W for 7 Channels at 8 ohms
(Eigheter Yamaha RX-V1600 or ONKYO TX-SR803E or Denon AVR 2807 or Denon AVR-3806)

SPEAKER SETUP INCLUDING SUB NOT TO EXCEED 700 GBP.
Preferable not less then 88Db speakers, include a sub of not less then 200W Rms.

First of all I thank you all for providing me with such info. I wanted to include that I live in Malta, and here we are limited with the choices of brands.

As a reciever I am more opting for the denon AVR 2807 and the Yamaha RV-1600.
Speaker setup I was considering locally are Mission M series and the acoustic-energy - aegis series.
What do you think?

Answer 1

I think the best thing to do is to go to a good home theater store and listen to some good Home theater speakers, also look up some others home theater set ups.People when they ask about speakers usually come up with the same ole names in speakers, JBL ,POLK, etc .There are plenty of good ones out there like Mirage (which i have),MB QUART,FOCAL

Mirage

Most of these speakers you'll find online , in Tweeter, or if your lucky Best Buy, not the regular bwest buy but Best Buy MAgnolia store, they carry the high end stuff that the normal ones dont carry so check it out have fun.
Hope you pick the DENON a/v reciever i bought the denon avr 2603 last year with the Mirage omistat speakers for my BEDroom, will pick up 2807 for livimg room

Answer 2

i would say all listed above suck, and you should get a marantz, or a pioneer elite. i would also say no less then 6.1.

i dont know how much 700 GBP is, but if you play your cards right you can probabley get on ebay, and pick up klipsch referance series for a great price. get a rc-25 for center, rb-25 for book shelves, rs-25 for surronds, and if you do you do go 6.1 then get a rc-15 for the rear. for a subwoofer the klipsch rsw10 should suit this system well. if i recall correctly it is about 600 watts. maybe a little less.

good luck, hope this helps.

Mission makes fine speakers, and if you like them the best then you should purchase them.
There are more speaker mfgs. out there than you can shake a stick at. I don't know what is available in your area, but what you should do is go to your local stereo store armed with music you are familiar and like with, and ask them to play it on any speakers you are interested in. The ones that sound the best to you, that is the speaker you should buy

Answer 4

I would recommend the Pioneer VSX-1015TXK its a 7.1 receiver that's THX certified and has great reviews and i love mine, for speakers it depends on what sounds good to you, I personally like jbl front E80 center EC25 and surrounds E20 and a velodyne sub and it sounds awesome to me I'm only using the 5.1 setup but you can set the receiver up for 7.1 on screen setup works great Good Luck in the hunt!

Answer 5

With experience from experimenting with electronic components, accessories, and speakers for well over 20 years, for your criteria, my choice would be the BIC Acoustech surround speaker system.

Market price should be within your price range.

Bose is the best.
