    Polk sale at Newegg... Need some help with options

    the 60s are 70 bucks less each... that's 140 to go to a decent sub. The Bic F12 is around 180. You'll most likely want a sub with the 70s in the future anyway. If you have a large room, sure, it does make more sense to go with the 70s. For my room the 60s were a good fit.

    Polk sale at Newegg... Need some help with options

    I just set up my 60s today... they sound great for 100 dollar ea. speakers. Also, the CS2 is a huge center... make sure you have the room. I'm looking into a stronger sub though, bass is just ok with my wimpy sub.

    time to consult the Gods

    ok, last question and then I'll buy something :) I think I've narrowed it down to the Denon AVR-1911 or the Pioneer VSX-1120. The Pio would be abut $75 more. I came to the conclusion that with my TV being a bit older that I'd probably jump on a 3D set when the prices came down.

    is the Marvell chip that much better than the Anchor Bay? Yeah, I only worry about jitter after a few cups of coffee :) thanks!

    they are 8", round, in-ceiling speakers and they do sound pretty good. Nothing for me to go by, unfortunately, unless I take them out.

    yes... it's a Yamaha powered sub... I was thinking about grabbing one of those little Jamo guys I saw for $100

    time to consult the Gods

    ok... I am looking for an AV receiver. I have a Panny plasma, a Wii, a basic cable box, a blu ray player and an older DVD player to hook into it. My speakers are in my ceiling and came with the house, so I don't know what kind they are. I'm not sure making the move to 3D would be wise for me...
