Okay, my TV's shoddy built in speakers make a really annoying, consistent hum, so I've replaced them with my old, even shoddier eMachines PC speakers which are plugged into the headphone jack. So I'm really desperate for an upgrade.
I've already placed an order with The Speaker Company, however, they seem to be running out of inventory. The order was sent 10 days ago and haven't had any updates; I think I'm SOL. So now I'm looking for a different route.
Details ...
- Would like a 5.1 setup
- ~$700 budget (have wiring/cables)
- Receiver is Pioneer VSX-21TXH
- Medium sized room
- L/R floorstanding or bookshelf, it doesn't matter to me; I just want good value. Although the rears will be mounted.
Currently interested in SVS' 5.0 set, which includes 4x SBS-01 and a SCS-01 Center on sale for $399. They have a complete 5.1 set also, but I really don't think I need the $400-500 subwoofer as I'm living in an apartment. Instead, I'm looking at the BIC Acoustech H100 which is ~$220. Keep in mind I need to factor in stands for the L/R and mounts for the rears.
Please feel free to give suggestions. I'm not an audio expert at all and am open to any advice (esp. if you can find better deals!)
