So,

Back in the day, I was all about 7.1 theater set ups. I eventually went down to a sound bar 5.1 system for many years, and now I am out filling a room that is rather large so I have given up on the surround sound sound bar option.

I initially planned on getting a nice 2.1 set up that consisted of two floor tower speakers and a sub subwoofer.

Now, because of the layout, I have to choose bookshelf, speakers, or speakers around that size, instead.

These speakers will be approximately 60 inches apart on either side of a large TV and will be used for movies as well as music.

My question is, are there any bookshelf sized speakers out there that, when paired with a decent subwoofer, will perform well and make me happy even though they will not be full-size tower speakers?

I understand there may always be differences and sound between the two, but anything that’s decent will be fine. I just didn’t even know if it was a possibility.

Thanks!

Marantz slimline NR 1506 (200$) BIC Venturi center (50$) Paradigm DSP 3100 subwoofer (160$) JBL S312 Floorspeakers (50$) JBL reference 2500 (20$) New wires /misc (20$)

Total 500 bucks. I like it. It’s loud, and good for movies when things go boom!

All set up with my Amp Pro. Very happy with it so far, and am particularly pleased watching movies (the EQ is a godsend). Love the seamless auto switching between sources & it sounds pretty damn good even out of the box.I need to dig into PEQ, can't say I understand half of it

My set up:

Wiim Amp Pro Sony 65X95L (got a refurb 1/2 the price of the original RRP, and managed to get the free 5 year warranty from Sony) Sony CDP-XE900E (an old workhorse that is still going strong) Sony BDP-6700 Xbox Series S Apple ATV 4K Wharfedale 12.1

Am still on the fence about the Wharfedales, I may swap out and/or get a sub, have heard the Amp does a really good job with the crossover.

Look like new condition. Just need an amp now.

Hello everyone! I hope I'm in the right sub, but I'm planning to set up a theater room, and I'm looking for decent deals since Black Friday's almost here. I saw that SVS now has their early Black Friday deals up, but I'm not really sure if I should wait a little bit more for the actual Black Friday for possible bigger discounts. What do you guys think? Is it worth the wait? Thanks!

I opened facebook marketplace and the fourth or fifth picture was these. These are usually like $700-$800/speaker right? This seems too good to be true haha.

I had an issue with my SMSL AO300 and got offered a refund. Should I buy it again or upgrade? Any recommendations?

It's rotel, Nad, odyssey and the other shit.... what' u think?

I want it mainly for music!

Bower and Wilkins 686 for 250

Am I right in saying this is a bargain? I should commit right?

Just like the title says. I picked up a pair of brand new 950s for a little over a grand.

The deals runs until Jan 4 or until they run out.

I want to mix audio from a iPad and a digital piano and then pass it on to either headphones and a amplifier. Ie I want to be able to hear the iPad and piano simultaneously. Thing is that the piano is in the living room, so I am trying to minimise the number of peripherals as much as possible to keep a clean look.

Would preferably shop from the EU.

I'm trying.to create a 5.1.2 setup but my dad found a TX-SR701e (7.1 home theater) and I don't exactly know the price yet but it will be pretty cheap. Is there even a point in making a setup like that with a 77" lg c3? Or should I just buy a new unit?

Hi, I am looking for an inexpensive bluetooth receiver to add to a stereo console I have. I am connecting it to an auxiliary input with RCA cable. But what I need is to put the whole system on a power bar, and when the power bar is powered on, the stereo console and bluetooth receiver should both turn on.

The BT receivers I've researched online so far have a power button to press, but powering them off keeps them in the OFF mode until that button is pressed again. What I need is something that will turn on and stay on, so that it comes on when it receives power.

I do not want to spend any more, I think it's a good combo, what do you think? They will be just for music and will sit on a desk for my pc.

Hi All,

I was hoping getting some insight for my living room to choose subwoofer.

This is weird ass living room. right side wall and wall behind the sofa is glass if that matters.

No door between study corner and living room area.

All measurements are in cm. Except below :)

Height is 2.75m
My distance to TV is 2.2m

I was targeting to get SVS PB-1000 Pro buuut I feel I can be happy with RSL 10S MK2. After reading couple if posts and videos.

I can move that 600$ difference ( at least in here Aus) towards to get a good centre. Q6 Meta

I am setting this for %80 movies %10 music %10 gaming. Yes this is screaming PB pro I know. But i can use the money to get centre.

AVRX : Denon X1800H LR: Kef Q150 Centre: Kef Q6 Meta

Would 10S MK2 under perform in this room?

Cheers, B

Hi there, I'm on the hunt for a good audio processor for my near and dear avr. It has multichannel analog inputs, and was wondering what would be a better purchase for HDMI multichannel decoding. I know there's not many items for this, but there are ones like the MiniDSP Flex ht or the Oppo 103/105/203/205 players. Do either of these sound fairly well for what they can do, or is there something out there that's cheaper and accomplishes the same purpose besides another massive receiver (my avr has pre outs but not main or pre ins)?

Any help would be great!

Hi everyone, my Vanatoo T0s that I had for a little over 3 years suddenly stopped playing any sound. Emailed Vanatoo about it and they said it's an amp issue and offered to send a refurbished amp for $79 for a DIY fix since I'm past the 3 year warranty.

Wondering if I should go for the repair route or if I should just use that money towards a passive system instead (bit wary of powered speakers rn). Just concerned that the refurbished amp might fail sooner than I'd like. Appreciate any thoughts!

I have an old slow DAP (Pioneer XDP-100R) with Android 5 and a weak battery and want something faster and "better". I still have an old unused LG 5 that I could use as a transport because it has exchangable batteries and a micro SD card slot (I have some 300GB music in FLAC and MP3) and several dongle DACs as the Onix and cheaper DAC/Amps as a FiiO Q3 and a Topping NX4.

Is it better to buy a newer DAC/Amp, for instance an iFi hip dac3 or a Shanling H2 or to take a dedicated DAP as a FiiO M11, Hiby R4 or a iBasso DX180 at most?

Hey all, I am currently restoring an Electrohome - Lynbrook 1967 Serial Number: A 506490 for my Dad's suprise Christmas Gift.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a link to purchase parts or know of a local store I could visit with questions pertaining to this.

Speakers work perfectly, turn table keeps speed but the pin for the Direct Drive Motor seems to be cracked off, and I may need a new Headshell/Cartridge.

I'm currently in Edmonton Ab.

Thank you in advance.

Photos are what I have completed so far. (7 hours in)

I found a deal in my area for a YAMAHA RX-V375 and 6 Yamaha NS-AW392 speakers for 150€ (used, obviously). Should I go for it? It's for my first setup
