Can't spend 2 grand on that center channel speaker? ***My "Poor Man/Woman's" Home Theater Advice $500-600***

[Pennstate]

4 x Aura Sound LST-627 (6 1/4 woofer + Ribbon tweeter) Tower Speakers $200
1 x Aura Sound LSC-527M (2 x 5 1/4 woofer + ribbon tweeter) center channel $100

Onkyo TX-DS474 receiver 55Wx5 DD high current receiver $150-$200

All of the above can be purchased at Ubid. Those prices include shipping

Acoustic Research S112PS Subwoofer $125-$150 (Ubid or Sears)

Thus For $500-600, you can get an AWESOME setup. Much better than anything that you'll find at Best Buy or Circuit City

I didn't want you to think no one read this. I've never heard of Aura Sound. And also, I wonder if shipping would signigicantly raise the price of this setup? My local SAMS Club sells a surround setup based on a JVC 6010(?). I'm not in the market at all, though, because I have a A/V rig already.

Aura's been around for a while......they've put out quite a few great sub drivers over the years... --> they know how to design drivers properly.

I wouldn't doubt that their speakers sound pretty good for the money.

Or you could build a sweet DIY kit (5 speakers, dual woofer mains and center) for around $350......add a DIY sub for another $150...and you'll get a sweet system, with drivers that have 5 year warranties.....that'll outperform the aura's

You can do better. Aura Sound doesn't show up on Audioreview.com. That is a very bad sign.

Try these on for size: Home Theater Direct Level 2 for $499

It shows up under Aura LINESOURCE

 

[Viperoni]

How is that a bad sign?

The Dayton DVC or BluePrint subwoofer drivers aren't on audioreview either.......
At least Adire Audio's there.....and check out their rating.

 

[GasX]

Well, if you put it that way....

Those reviews aren't shabby at all.

I'd still get the Sony sub though.

Hehe, to Fairbanks ishipping would probably cost more than the speakers themselves.

 

[Pennstate]

DOn't you guys read???? I said they INCLUDE shipping. I've factored in the shipping into the price for the LST-627s. They go for $29 each. The shipping per pair is $40

 

[SuperTool]

Get the Kenwood HTB-504. It's about 400. Look on etronics.com
It's also on sale at Fry's for 399 here in CA
I just got that one. it's 600 watts with a receiver, and it has nice reviews on audioreview.com

Not much cheaper to Anchorage, though, what?

I highly doubt that is accurate for us Alaskans.
