Stereo system

[DLBlank]

Well i was wanting to get some new computer speakers for my computer, you may have seen my other post in hardware about getting the 5500's but i was thinking it would be alot better to just maybe spend a bit more and just get a receiver speakers and stuff. Would this be possable? like some 3.5 to whatever inputs the recever may have? Would i still have soround sound if it did work? And if so whats a good receiver/speakers? Any help is apreasheated.

Stay away from this guy

I don't remember if I've seen you in Peripherals lately, but there are several recent threads in there to give you an idea of your options.

I have 400ish for now mybe more cence a system is way more upgradeable than 5500's that i was going to get eavn thow there not 400 bux.

BTW, I dont mean some big ass system maybe just a 2 speaker set up, whatever i can get for 400bux. Just wondering it it would be worth it becuse i would have 100 bux or so after the 5500s.

Building up a system over time would be a good way to get a nice system eventually.

For $400 you could get a pretty nice refurb receiver and a pair of bookshelf speakers.

Have any good ones in mind?

You could get an entry level Onkyo receiver (or Yamaha, Pioneer, etc) and some JBL, Athena, or Infinity books shelf speakers.

For $429 shipped you can get two JBL E50's and an Onkyo TX-SR303.

(Check out AVSforum for more advice too)

Something like a refurb onkyo 502 would be a good basic one for a receiver.

(I'm sure you've seen that and some other recommendations in the threads I linked to above)

For speakers, it would be great if you could go out and listen to some differet offerings to see what you like.

Local Best Buy / Circuit City / real HT store would give you some chances to demo some different stuff.

JBL/Klipsch at Best Buy

Infinity at Circuit City

At a local audio retailer, Paradigm should have some bookshelf speakers in your range.

Online you have some options too.
Ascend 170s
I'll mention the deal on AV123 ELTs again
Axiom m3ti

EDIT: Polk R series goes on sale at outpost.com from time to time too. R50s on sale right now
