[krisoto]

i just puchase the klipch quintet and onkyo tx-sr600 so now, i have to decide which subwoofer to get. i thinking of 150.00 to 200.00 budget.

You can always replace the satellites later on (or upgrade your fronts & move your old ones to the back, etc.).

I would get a better receiver.

Viper GTS

 

[JoPh]

just hold off for a bit, and save up till u have enough for both.

I would personally get better speakers. The technology in recievers is getting better and cheaper. Speakers pretty much remain steady.

 

[krisoto]

so i was thinking of klipsch quintet and the sub woofer for good investment and probably a sony or pioneer, for good quality? is that right?

I have the HK 325. You will not be disappointed.

 

[krisoto]

oohh i like that 325. what are it's comparison to other recievers?

 

[Howard]

I prefer the Outlaw Audio Model 1050 myself.

I love stereos, I would cross the harman kardon off your list, they are nice, but low power and somewhat expensive. I have the Yamaha RXV620 it is great I wish pro logic II was around when I got mine. Right now you might want to consider Denon 2803 it just came out, my dad has the 3802 and It is excellent. I might get yelled at for this one, but honestly surround speaker quality isn't terribly important. I rarely even notice them, unless there is something huge like explosions, or maybe on DVD audio and that sort of thing. I think a receiver should probably come first.

imo, always upgrade to the best speakers you can afford. a good set will make your bad receiver sound good

Check this out:

Refurb Onkyo SR600 receiver + 5.1 speaker setup for $500. Great value, IMO.

[krisoto]

nice but the speakers are definitely not my type

 

[Entity]

I'd go for (well, I did go for) the receiver. Denon 3802 all the way.

In your speaker brand listing I'd add http://www.axiomaudio.com (they're similar in price to all those I'm guessing)..do some reviews, they'll beat all those brands you listed for the same price, hands down. Do some searching for reviews of their products, there is never a bad one.

My setup is the Pioneer VSX811 receiver and 2 Klipsch quintets (off of E-Bay) as surrounds. For fronts and center, I got Ascends.

 

[krisoto]

i finally got the klipsch quintet. now, i need a subwoofer. i should get a 12 to 15 " the brand i'm looking for is cerwin vega,jbl,polk and infinity
on the reciever end, i narrow it to 2. harman kardon (avr225 and avr325)and onkyo (sr500 and sr600)

 

[Anubis]

the receiver

 

[ElFenix]

get a velodyne sub.

 

[DanJ]

For subs, if you have the money get an SVS

Or check out HSU.

 

[krisoto]

velodyne, svs and hsu are expensive for me
my budget for this is around 150 to 200 top

 

[krisoto]

it's either. jbl,polk,cerwin vega or bose subwoofer

 

[nord1899]

Veloydne VX10 For $199

Probably your best bet for your price range. Hell, the only one below $200 at OneCall.com

EDIT: Your choices increase a lot if you up your budget to $300.
