MikeChipshop Member Posted December 22, 2013 Member Share Posted December 22, 2013 What are people using? I bought a set of 5.1 Logitech's about 8 years ago just to replace some cacky ones i'd had for a while. I was actually blown away by how good a quality they were. to the point where i've been patching them up rather than replacing them by rewiring them every time the main input wire gets damaged. I think it started off about 8ft long and know it's about 2 foot. I just can;t let them go :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted December 22, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2013 sucks to be in Canada lol.... these have great reviews... I realize a good receiver is going to cost a few dollars... and that's why I wanted to get a good starter set up then add a receiver later.. WHen I use the US website... no escape for me... ohwell.. Order Summary Items: $349.00 Shipping & handling: $135.57 Total before tax: $484.57 Estimated tax to be collected: $0.00 Import Fees Deposit $72.49 Order total: $557.06 Those are just speakers, you have nothing to drive them....you would need a receiver. You are better off with the 400 klipsch with the pioneer from tiger if you are looking to be in that price range. A good setup will put you around 2-3000, a great setup between 5 and 10000, excellent...well the sky is the limit...Here is an example of good to excellent (this is just a receiver setup http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COO4OCU?psc=1). You are still in the small budget area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy2 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 wow... I guess ill just stick to the Z906... Thanks guys ... great help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted December 23, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2013 sorry, I was just putting things into perspective. I would think that the $400 system with the Klipsch speakers would be a much better setup, but I do advise that you listen to them first. I wish that you could listen to computer speakers in the same setting as you can with the home audio stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted December 24, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 24, 2013 I know out of your price range, but I really like this setup: http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-RF-42II-Theater-Bundle-FREE-Acoustech/dp/B005F6OFTQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1387898796&sr=1-2&keywords=rf-42 And match with a decent reciever like this: http://www.amazon.com/Marantz-SR6007-Home-Theater-Receiver/dp/B0081N91BC/ref=sr_1_3?s=tv&srs=2529848011&ie=UTF8&qid=1387899088&sr=1-3&keywords=marantz You will be very very happy with the sound quality, power, and capability of the setup. This is a low to mid range setup, not budget area, not quite mid. This will kick ass out of any bose setup, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 lol, I feel for you, Sammy. I'd be pulling my hair out buy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy2 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 yup this thread was quite an experience.. I learned a lot ... and guys i'm going to settle for the Z906... it came today and i'm loving it. Better than the bose if you ask me.. and cheaper.. using a laptop - kind of dated too.. This Z906 is making me want to get a sound card lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
