Need sone help with book shelf system

[Estephens13]

Hey guys I just moved my theater to a small room(10x11) and am selling my Polk RTI12s,CSI3 and RTI4s. I have a Pioneer Elite 82 and Velodyne DPS12 that I will be using with the new speakers. I am trying to stick around $500 for the front 3 atleast, I have some Polk R30s that can be used in the back for a while. Size is important, I am using a projector and dont have a ton of extra space. I need to do some listing, but on the list right now are Energy Rc-minis, Paradigm atoms, SVS sbs-01s. What can you guys recomend that I add to the list or remove from it? Btw I will use it for 90% movies\tv, 10% music. Thanks

I might add the Behringer 2030p to that list, though there is no matching center for them IMO.

The SCS-01s would probably work well vs the SBS-01s, as they are only taller not wider, so they won't take up more space and they may be worth the added cost IMO, even in a smaller room, but you will probably be OK with SBSs.

Thanks for the input. I have now added the Aperion Intimus 4B as the front runners. thoughts?

Paradigm Atoms are excellent. Also consider the Cambridge Audio S30s; they also have excellent sound for $199/pair

The matching center is the S50 for $199

I don't recommend the S30 after I had the chance to hear them.

The Epos ELS-3 is my preferred budget speaker and the front three might come in near the OP's budget.

I was going to mention the ELS-3 as well, but they are 4 Ohm and low sensitivity, something to take note of.

Paradigm's Monitor line is average.

Thanks for the input. I am now 99% sure im going with the Energy RC-Minis, they are the perfect size for my needs, and also come with mounts. The reviews I have read say they have characteristics that I favor. Thanks agin guys.

The RC-Mini are a decent small speaker. At MSRP, their value proposition is a little sketchy but I've seen them on sale near half off, at which point they are a great value. At any point in between, they are a good speaker for the money. The only real caveat with the Mini is that you will need a pretty high crossover point, somewhere around 120Hz or higher. At that point, the bass can be localized so try to keep the sub up front and near the center.

Emotiva ERM-1's are on closeout.

A dude in the classifieds has 3 x-ls speakers on sale for $250. They play way over their normal price point, and he is selling them at a big discount from that.

I have no affiliation with the seller.
