|   Need recommedation on speakers | Fireman27
Jun 5, 2001 1:20 PM | | I'm purchasing a yamaha reciever (htr-5240) with 80 watts p/channel. The reciever can be bought with or without speakers. The speakers the salesman at Best Buy is recommending the yamaha NSP 220 package, but I don't trust him. Can anyone suggest a surround sound speaker package (satelittes, subwoffer, and center) for under $275. I know it isn't a lot of $, but thats all I've got to work with. I'm not planning on blasting the neighbors out, but can appreciate quality sound. I don't want to buy speakers that can't live up to the quality of the reciever. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecitated. |

Jun 5, 2001 1:47 PM | | That's asking for the impossible. Your best bet is to buy a HTiB system from Kenwood. But it might be possible to get three pairs of the HR 206HO from www.egghead.com for $40 a pair ($165 for all three pairs, shipping included) and then find a used Sony SA-WM40 sub. The new Sony subs can be had for around $160. Otherwise look at a pair of used speakers. So, your best bets are either the HTiB or just buying a pair of used speakers or keeping an eye out on the auction sites. Klipsch KG3.5 are going for $60 on auction right now at ubid.com with a couple hours left. |

Jun 5, 2001 3:29 PM | | Bryan's right, you can't get much. Go with the yamaha YHT-23 if you like the receiver, you can get the package pretty cheap now days that the mew yamaha line came out. this system is complete w/sub for about $500. Look into it. |

Jun 5, 2001 3:55 PM | | Hometheaterdirect.com - Level 1 system with powered sub - $149
Consumer-direct.com - Acoustic Research ARHC1 with powered sub - $279
Consumer-direct.com - Jensen JHT805 with powered sub - $164
There are offerings from KLH, Sony, Kenwood, JBL, from as little as $150 to $300, including powered subs.
I think the best bet is the ARHC1, but that's up to you brotha...
Cheers,
