2021 Audioholics Christmas Gift Guide

[gene]

We were all happy to put 2020 COVID-19 madness behind us this year only to be faced with a supply chain issues making it difficult to purchase electronics either due to unavailability or resultant price increases. With that said, here are some great holiday gift ideas to help bring your audiophile loved ones Christmas cheer. The goal is to build a kick ass home theater system for under $4k to enjoy all of the latest streaming shows like Squid Game, or your favorite movies.

Man you want a kick ass home theater for insane prices I honestly have no idea how they do these sales. I picked up the 570 and 520C for less than 500 bucks.

Yeah exactly, I mean I'm gonna buy a home theater for another person? Imagine someone opening up 5 speakers, subs, and a receiver? Oh gee thanks, just what I wanted.

Man keep thinking about these too. Insane blowout. Also considering going all the way and getting the 590. Should I get the 590 and sell my Klipsch Forte IIIs?

I don't know man but the little 570s are awesome. The 520C I got for 90 bucks and that's a steal also.

Hard to beat this price on Ascend Sierra 2s. If you are sitting 10 to 12 feet or less from your main speakers, these would be hard to beat.

Yeah, been thinking about a Roku or Chrome Cast for my wife. Anything I want is outside of the gift budget.

Silly me, Ascend publishes a bunch themselves. What do you think of their Sierra-2 vs Sierra-2EX? 2EX worth the extra money?

I haven't heard the EX, but the S2 got me to sell off my SVS Ultras and go with Ascend Acoustics for my 5.1 system.
