B&W are great, but I feel they are overpriced just to be overpriced. Not like Beats/Bose or anything of course. I also feel that $2000 is just too damn much for a 2.0 (unless a sub isn't possible so you run like SVS Ultra towers), and you'd just be spending a shit ton on the center ($1250). They only go down to 50Hz (good for a bookshelf), that's a lot of frequencies to miss out on.
Definitely don't get the Klipsch sub, only 200w RMS and only goes down to 29HZ, too much for the money.
If wanting a 3.1:
Speaker calibration can make any system sound better; even if you get expensive equipment, Audyssey can work wonders. You could get the Denon X1300W (lowest model that will be updated to support Dolby Vision and HLG, the format cable companies will likely use) which is currently on sale for $400 or $320+~$10 shipping for factory refurb, if you go bookshelf option #2, you'd have >$350 leftover even if you chose the more expensive color.
I recently purchased a town house, after renting a room for several years. Didn't have any furniture other than the bedroom essentials, so I had a pretty blank slate to work with.
I realize the layout isn't ideal, given the lighting and open floor layout (opens up to the dining room and kitchen), but I was more concerned with having a good hangout environment than having the prefect viewing experience. The only other option was an above ground basement, which would have had the same lighting issue, though better acoustics.
The lighting isn't as bad as it appears in the picture, imo. I've never really had a problem with it, though I do spend most of my time relaxing in the evenings when there is no direct sunlight coming from those windows. Even then, the Samsung seems to handle it well.

For the wall I used some 1/4" shaped wiremold from Home Depot. Sanded and spray painted it to match the existing 1/4" Round. For the rest of the power cables and such, I modified the middle drawer of an Ikea cabinet to hide them away and give me easy access. I'm still not quite sure what to do about the remaining outlet wires, but other than that there aren't any other visible cables.

For that price you've got quite a few good options.
First things first, you need a receiver. Having a full size receiver that can support surround will be perfect in case you ever want to have a surround setup.
You have loads of options for speakers.
What sound signature do you want? I'll give you a few options to look through.
HSU HB-1 MK2 are fantastic speakers. They dig extremely deep, and are a lot of fun to listen to. The horn is designed different from every other horn I've heard. These will fill a room with no problem, and it won't every sound bright or shouty. I absolutely love them. These would be my pick in this price range.
Ascend CBM-170 are another very good option. They don't have a ton of bass, but instead focus more on midrange. If you think you'll be adding a sub in the future, these could be a very good option.
Elac Debut B6.2. If you don't want to add a sub but you want bass, these are for you. They have tons of bass, and are generally smooth throughout besides that.
The Wharfedale Diamond 225 is a fantastic speaker. The midrange really is the star of the show with these. They have a sweet and smooth midrange, with a relaxed top end. You could listen for days without fatigue. These are a 'safe bet', meaning you won't be offended by them at all.
I haven't heard these Elacs but they're popular. Unfortunately I can't really help besides that.
Edit: don't forget speaker cable to hook it all up.
Amp
NAD 3020 V2 ($399) has:
Turntable
U-Turn Audio ($309) have gotten good reviews from the few people I know that have picked one up. They look nice and do their job.
Speakers
This is way trickier and way more personal, I personally have had very good luck with used gear from Swans, Canton, Mirage, Chario and JBL that I would have never been able to afford new and have been very happy with. The only speakers I've gotten brand new recently were the Elac B6 and I enjoyed them too.
Some options with the rest of your budget ~$500
Wharfedale Denton 80th (~$500) Absolutely beautiful, review well, I only had a brief listen in person so can't entirely vouch but I liked what I heard
Elac UB5 (~$400) Very nice bookshelf, the concentric set up for the mid range and tweeter is nice and slick and fits a 3 way design into a bookshelf footprint nicely.
Monitor Audio Bronze 2 (~$500) Again, lovely design, enjoyed them when I auditioned them but ended up going with some used Cantons that time.
Elac UB5 is on sale over at Amazon for $400. I have to admit I too, like many others fell victim to the hype and became giddy and incontinent with excitement when they were released.
I mean, even Patrick Norton sounded like a Justin Beiber fanboy when he interviewed Andrew Jones for Tested. Squeee!
Unfortunately, I was of the 2 people that weren't blown away by the UE5 (/u/strategicdeceiver was probably the other). To me the super-innovative engineering (did you see the crossover inside the belly of this beast?) did not match the way the end-product sounded. It's a perfectly competent sounding speaker, just not one of the greats.
Having said that, it's a very good choice for folks looking for a decent pair of bookshelves for $400.
And having said that, there are other options with different sound profiles on sale right now for around the same price though, for example the MA Bronze 2 and the KEF Q300
For ELAC wait for BF&CM. ELAC Uni-fi UB5 often go down to $349. B6.2 were $149 last year.
B6.2 may be a bit on the laid back and warm side. They can be good for music, however you may want something more dynamic or bright for home theater.

Assuming you just mean an overall budget of $800, here's a couple of options I'd suggest.
SPEAKERS
AMP
Amps can be found for cheaper at Accessories4Less if you're alright with refurb units.
This and these would be a start to a great system, or you could do the same receiver + these fronts and this center and these surrounds. The second set is my setup, actually. That's napkin math to $1k, and it's freaking solid. slightly not as good as the UB5s, but for home theater usage, that's less of a deal. If you want top end music performance too, I'd vote get the UB5s. I'm extremely happy with my B6s/matching center / surrounds.
With a 3.0 setup you'll want decent sized speakers if you're going without the sub. Otherwise it's going to sound very thin from the lack of bass. Here are some setups that I would consider.
Just grab these
Check this out at Amazon.com - ELAC Uni-fi UB5 Bookshelf Speaker (Black, Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CRYWVG2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_psDRCbVYGQVFW
They go low enough a sub is optional but as usual is always recommended with anything.

$399.99 ($100 off)
are you thinking to expand to a 5.1 system in the future?
this would be my pick for a set of bookshelves around $400:

these are another good option:

Not a bad price, but also consider these other options available right now that are comparable to those:
EDIT: Those Monitor Audio speakers are great speakers and there is nothing wrong with them. Probably one of the best looking speakers out there as well.
Dali ZENSOR 1 are great, so are Wharfedale - Dentons. KEFs if you can add an extra $50.
Finally the Elacs are getting great reviews.
Uturn orbit with phono preamp - 249 (https://uturnaudio.com/products/orbit-basic-turntable). Be sure to press the built in button for the preamp
SMSL AD18 - 145 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073F8Z565
Micca MB42x - 90 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E7H8GG2
Total 485
Is a baseline respectable system. There may be black Friday specials to bring the cost down a bit. The speakers are the weakest link here (though not bad), if you can pony up an extra ~200 you can get a much better pair (Emotiva B5, Kef Q100/150, Elac B5/B6, Chane A1.4, Klipsch RP-150m, etc.) EDIT: I also just noticed the Elac UB5 for $350 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CRYWVG2, they are definitely worth the extra cash if you can scrounge it. Also from a post below: https://www.turntablelab.com/products/denon-dp-300f-turntable-ortofon-2m-red-upgrade is a fantastic deal and a better deck.
Good Question, I’m curious as Well.
I’m sure higher end bookshelves could sound better but I don’t know which ones and where the price point starts at

Budget: Up to $500, doesn't have to be new.
Hello, I am looking to power a pair of headphones through my computer via USB, as well as a subwoofer and passive speakers.
I have been browsing and found that the ELAC EA101EQ-G seemed to fit all these categories but I want to make sure that there isn't anything I might be missing that will do the job just as good.
Please note that this will be all for a computer desk setup and not a living room experience. So compact is also key here as well. The speakers I'm going to be powering are the ELAC Uni-fi UB5, the subwoofer is a
BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt and the Headphones are the Massdrop Sennheiser HD6XX. Thanks in advance!

The Uni-fi's are what you want. They are passive so you need to invest in an amplifier to drive them. Can be something from up above.
Hey all! Im investing in my first real pair of speakers to be used for a 70/30 split between movies/music. Ive narrowed my choices down to 3 speakers. I live in a small apartment so being able to perform at loud volume isn't a priority, but clarity at low volume would be very nice. Current budget for a pair would ideally be at or under 700$, but willing to go much higher if they will last me for a long time. Any comments are welcome!
Receiver and subwoofer choices are solid. Leaving around $700 for LR and Center. Lots of choices with that budget. A few possible contenders.
LR Elac UB5 - $400
Elac UC5 Center - $350
or
Ascend LR CBM-170 / C CMT-340 - $568
or
Ascend LR CMT-340SE / C CMT-340 - $838
or
LR Dali Zensor 3 / Dali Vokal Center - $760

What is your experience with speakers? Cuz if you been driving a prius and immediately want to go to a bugatti veryon, without knowing why it is better than a ferrari or lamborghini, you are really wasting a lot of money. And audiophile realm is bullshit. Audiophile requires experience not a billfold. Sorry for the mini rant, but alot of inexperienced people buy equipment that is wasted on them lol.
I have not heard the Buchardt in person yet. But i believe zeos said the larger ones werent that good on a desk but the larger ones are fucking huge so it makes sense. Im guessing after shipping they are going to be a little north of $1000. Right now I would pick up the unviersally acclaimed ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 currently on sale for $400.https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-Uni-fi-Bookshelf-Speaker-Black/dp/B01CRYWVG2/ref=pd_lutyp_simh_2_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01CRYWVG2&pd_rd_r=B9XH2J9NAFSN6TV2SD5J&pd_rd_w=QW0KL&pd_rd_wg=Ydd70&psc=1&refRID=B9XH2J9NAFSN6TV2SD5J
or the jbl 530 while you can still get them for $600. I believe they are discontinued the the price will sky rocket to 800 easy. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Studio-530-5-25-Inch-Bookshelf/dp/B00622STI0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1479984218&sr=1-1&keywords=jbl+530
I have the jbl 530 and the SVS Ultras ($1000) and on a desk i prefer the jbl 530. They have amazing imaging on a desk.
Behringer a500 will power anything you through at it so not much to say on that.
I am gonna say schiit stuff is good (but i am having trouble with my modi 2 uber having usb error which is currently pissing me off) but you are paying a premium to being made in the USA. The magni 2 is a fine amplifier, it has served me well to power my my hifiman he-400 and mad dog pros.
For a preamp I would just go with a SCHIIT SYS i believe.
Then i just realized, what sound to you prefer? Netural, bright or bass? lol
But if you get the elacs or jbls with the rest of that equipment, i believe you would have a fantastic starting kit to become a proper audiophile. Down the road you can upgrade any piece of the kit and you will know why it is better.
And what is this desktop setup for? gaming station or workstation? cuz with the money you save if you go with cheaper speakers, i reccomend picking up a sweet 4k monitor/tv too lol.
Just sayin', you should buy these soon if you're going to get a pair of speakers. Get them and a power amplifier, which if you decided to get the speakers I'd be MORE than happy to recommend https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-Uni-fi-Bookshelf-Speaker-Black-x/dp/B01CRYWVG2
Normally $500 a pair, it's currently on sale for Black Friday and only $350: https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-Uni-fi-Bookshelf-Speaker-Black-x/dp/B01CRYWVG2
Leaves room in your budget for a subwoofer if you want more bass response.
I'm sorry, life picked up real fast and I have been too busy to do the research. I did check your Craigslist after originally planning on some extreme floorstanders, a dedicated amplifier with receiver, until I realized in your situation it would likely be better to get bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer.
So, with that in mind, here are some ideas (I'm recommending new b/c it is the easiest, but this could also give you some ideas/a general perspective on price per component and etc.):
Speakers: Elac UB5 - some great sounding, resonably priced bookshelves. They have the neat feature of having a co-axial tweeter, meaning the tweeter is mounted inside the midrange's cone, which helps blend the frequencies together (particularly important for vocals)
Subwoofer: SVS SB-1000 - This thing is both crazy enough to supply some serious low end, while still refined enough for a small room. You certainly won't need any more bass with an option like this :)
Amplifier/reciever: There are many suitable options here, and for your price range being able to hook up your TV for home theater should easily be possible. A really nice Denon can run you $500 but comes with many features. The only one I see missing is "pre-outs" which are used to hook up bigger and badder amplifiers, which you probably won't need.
That's just one part-ed out system, that would sound excellent and last you many years. Typically the only thing that becomes obsolete is the receiver when new standards (like HDMI) become available.
EDIT: You'll also want a USB DAC for your laptop, such as this Schiit Audio DAC which will sound leagues better than the headphone jack on the laptop.
I'm looking to build a semi-affordable home audio system this year. I'm gonna start buying components with my tax money, so it's time to seek some quick suggestions. I am pretty much set on the turntable and receiver. And I have narrowed my speaker options down to 3 final contenders. Basically I need help deciding which of these 3 speaker setups will sound the best for my personal taste (music only, no movies. Mostly stoner rock, doom, classic rock, hard rock, blues, reggae, funk... you know, mostly bass heavy rock).
The turntable I chose is the U-Turn Orbit Custom with acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge.
The receiver I chose to go with this turntable is the Onkyo A-9050. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009JBZFVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RsWMybSP4ZYZR
Now onto the speakers. My budget is $500 but I can go over a little bit. This setup will be in my living room which is smallish to regular in size. Also, I have hardwood floors if that matters. Sooooo... Which of these 3 setups will sound best with this turntable/receiver???
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
They're available for pre-order on Amazon.

The Mod Team decided to place a more structured post on Black Friday deals. A lot of people are already invested in this thread so I will just sticky this here. Deals at some of the major retailers are likely to come and go often so it will be impossible to have this be fully accurate 100% of the time. If you have any deals you want to see in this sticky post feels free to message me(I WILL miss plenty of deals), otherwise you are still free to post below of course. Lastly, these are just good deals off of MSRP and I will generally post regardless of whatever personal thoughts I have on X, Y, or Z product. I will shortly add a few more categories beyond speakers.

Long story short, my front left tower has a damaged tweeter and my google skills cannot find the replacement available for sale.
1. What is your budget?
I am open to spending up to $1500.
2. What are you looking for?
I want a new LCR and I think I am leaning towards floor speakers sa I have kids and bookshelves on stands seem WAY more likely to get knocked over. I COULD mount some speakers on the wall, but again... they might be likely to hang on to them. (Kids. Not Even Once.) Also I am NOT interested in ATMOS at this time.
All in I think I prefer the ease of use with the towers but I dont know if they are the best bang for the buck for me as my subwoofer handles the bottom end pretty well.
3. How will you typically be using the gear?
I use it for home theater (Movies and Games) 50% and music the other 50%.
4. What gear do you own?
5. What do you intend on using for a source?
I stream Spotify Premium or use my PS4 for BlueRay, Games, Netflix and Youtube (mostly kids).
6. What material will you be using your gear for?
In order of importance I think I want movies, music and gaming. Lately I have been listening to a lot of
7. Are you willing to buy used?
Yes. My problem with used research is there are SOOOO many brands and models for me to lookup on a price/sound ratio that I quickly get inundated.
All in I have been thinking about updating my setup for a while, and this tweeter issue is a perfect excuse.
I have a buddy using the HSU 5.1 and it sounds great. Otherwise I don't have much exposure to a lot of other brands (and there seem to be a LOT of them).
As of right now the following combinations have caught my attention:
What other speakers should I consider? Or is there a clear winner?
