[cheapskete OCer]

Im trying to figure out what floor speakers to get ..i just bought a pioneer 1015tx reciever and a klipsch 420w 10 inch sub...for speakers i have my old HT in a box little crappy things...i dont have a big budget now im looking to spend about 400 bucks tops on 2 floors and a center (would rather spend like 350)..i would like the center to match the floors....i found some infinitys primus 250s for 149 bucks with free shipping from CC and they have the matching center.. unfortunately i dont have many stores localy to go to and listen the diff speakers myself...any input or info on good deals would be appreciated ...thanks

Since you have a tight budget and already own a sub, you may have more choices if you go with bookshelf speakers instead of floor standers.

Also check out Fry's Electronics (if you have one locally) or Outpost.com and watch for the Polk R30s or R50s (floor standers) and the Csi25 (center) to go on sale. They offer good bangs for your bucks.

If I remember correctly those Polk's R-30's go on sale for $39.95, and the R-50's for $69.95 at Outpost.

Sounds about right, though that's the price for each speaker, not per pair . Csi25 runs for around $80 on sale I think.

well i dont want bookshelfs ..my sub works to much and carries upstairs and everywhere else as it is bigtime..with my reciever set for small speakers i believe it puts to much juice to the sub and its not in the corner i would like some floor standing speakers that are around 120 -150 watts max ..because the pioneer 1015tx is 120w per channnel but you definatlely gave me some good speaker prices

ive looked and looked ...could someone link me to these polk r50s fro 69.95 each ....i was about to pay 149.. each for the infinity primus 250s

If you want to get those Polks at those prices, you are gonna have to be patient and wait for them to go on sale. Outpost puts them on sale every few weeks or so.

Check here and you will see how frequently they go on sale and for how much:

Otherwise just go with the Infinity Primus. They are pretty decent speakers.

I bought some R50's from Fry's/Outpost but did so by calling them at 1-877-688-7678. They werent listed on the website at $69 each but when I called they gave me that price. Shipping was $19 each to VA but still a great deal. Also, when I bought them they only had them in the cherry color.

You may have to give them the item number when you call them on the phone, thats how they found them when I ordered. If needed I can send it to you once I get home from work tonight.

Onix X-LS

AV123.com will have a floorstander version of their Onix X-LS speakers available soon for $300 / pair. They will play down to 40 Hz and should sound better than most entry level speakers and look better with real wood veneer. The matching center will be about $100, comming in your budget.

The item number for Polk R50's at outpost.com is 4005092.

I belive it will be vinyl, not wood veneer.

I think the vinyl is for the new ELT-II line. . .
