A/VUSMCSGT,
Did you research the Polk matching as a set? I was looking for a set I saw at Circuit City,as advertised as a set, but someone on the post told me they were unmatched or un-timbered and I would get lousy sound. I want good speakers and better than HTiab,so I guess it's component time for me.
What I saw at CircuitC was this:
2)Polk Audio PLK M10 2-way bookshelf, 89db
2)PLK M20 (amp power recom, 20-150w) or M50 Floor monitor,
1)PLK Center CS10,
1)PSW Sub 10"
Or I could go with something like this...
Polk RM10 Speaker System setup (5 plus sub) ($204.50)
Polk RMS75 5Channel for about ($350.00)
The room I'll be putting this in for now is about a 12' x 9', and can do just fine with 5.1 receiver,but if I ever wanted to move to that bigger room in the house, a 7.1 channel would be more sensible.
Do you know if I could use only a 5.1 setup in a 7.1 AVR setup without any consequences?
And I'm entertaining with one of these AVR's:
(these are BestBuy prices not Fry's or Amazon)
Pioneer VSX-1018 AH 7.1 (910w) ($430.00)
Pioneer VSX-918 5.1 (120w) ($265.00)
Onkyo TXSR-606 7.1 (90wx7) ($338.00)
Yamaha RX-V633 7.1 (665w) ($500.00)
PS. My father (RIP) was in the USMC for 23 years. My Cousins lived in Beaufort, SC. Last name TRACY. My Uncle was also in the USMC.
Thanks to you and to all the others who reply.
