Often bought together.. The matching center
You could always just get a better center and then upgrade the fronts again.. Depends on how crazy you are.
The system gets plenty loud to feel the walls vibrate and fill up the house if I so desire, but I rarely push it. It's great for movies. Edit: forgot to mention that everything comes from my Laptop -> receiver via HDMI.
Fronts: $40
Center: $30
Sub: $80
Rears: $50
Receiver:$40
Total: $240.
My main fronts are Bose Model 31's from the mid 90's. They are front ported with 8" drivers and 3" tweeters. They were absolutely falling apart when my uncle gave em to me so I replaced the woofers with some newer rubber surround ones. They sound surprisingly good for what they are, but the crossover doesn't match the woofer exactly. I've had these things for a long time. $40 for replacement speakers.
The center is this Sony model I picked up from a cousin of mine for $30 when he upgraded. It matches the fronts better than I thought it would, much better than my old center.
I picked up a Cheap Polk Sub last year and it's the only purchase I regret, looking for a replacement. $80.
My rears are Micca MB42's I picked up from Amazon, pretty solid little bookshelf speakers. I spent about $50 on them.
The Receiver is a Denon Avr-791 I got from the same cousin for $40. He was going to just give it to me but he needed the money. One of the HDMI inputs went bad on him and he replaced it with a newer model, this one was collecting dust and now it works perfect for me (minus one input).
I do most of my serious music listening with my Philips shp9500 or Logitech UE6000 headphones.
I'm looking at getting some used speakers, and this is what I've been able to come up with in my area, either Boston Acoustics rs260 ($300), OR Sony ss-b1000, ss-cn5000p, and sa-w2500, all for $150.
I hear that Sony speakers are not all that great, but that these are good enough for the price. I'd rather not spend twice the money if I can get by well enough with the Sonys.
Any input?
