u/polypeptide147 · 20 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I'll make a list of stuff you need. For the best "bang for your buck" in the $200ish price range.

-----------------------------------------

Speaker wire. Amazon Basics makes great stuff. If you want, you can get 100 feet of it for an extra $2 I think. You can get those monoprice banana plugs if you want. They just help if you're going to be switching speakers around a lot.

Simple wire stripper. Should work just fine.

Cable to plug it in. That'll just plug the amp into a computer. And that cable is amazing quality. For real. I don't know what it is about it, but the moment I touched that cable I knew it was special. This isn't a joke either. You'll understand when you get one. Trust me.

50 watt per channel amp. This thing will be more than enough. I just like it because it is open box, so cheap. The same one new on amazon is $65. If you want to order from amazon, you can just get the smsl sa-36a. Same amp, just 20 watts per channel. Which, again, is plenty.

[Here's that cheaper smsl amp] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017W13OR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_U2NSBbTRHGFS5). I've got a few of them. They're great. This is what I'd go for if the other one is sold out.

Cheap but good little amp. I don't have one of these because I'm not a fan of the looks, but they get great reviews and a lot of people really like them.

---------------

Speakers:

Miccas. These things are nice for that price. In this price range, you really won't be getting anything better unless you go DIY.

Fluance SX6. These guys are big, but they throw a good amount of sound and some pretty deep bass for a pair of bookshelf speakers. Careful, they're pretty big.

Pioneer. These things are decent, but I think the Fluances would be better for this price. The SX6s throw more bass, which is good if you're not getting a sub. However, these are smaller.

Fluance signature series. I know, you said your budget is only $200, but you said if you need to spend more, then you will. These will sound better than all of the other speakers linked, however, that's not why they're here. I put them here for two reasons. The first is that they're front ported. Most people that are new to speakers might put them up against a wall or close to it, not understanding that the port needs some room to breathe. These have front ports so that's not a problem. The second reason, just look at them. If you really care about looks, these ones are the ones. They're beautiful. (My opinion obviously).

Oof almost forgot. Pleaae don't place the speakers directly on your desk.

--------------------------------

That's a lot. I'll sum it up with my opinion and why.

Amp: smsl sa36a. For close range, you don't need anything with more power. This thing will do whatever you need for bookshelf speakers.

Speakers: micca mb42x. Why? Here's why: for this price range, you won't notice a huge difference in any speakers, unless you get some bad ones. So, get the cheapest ones you can. Later on, if you can afford to upgrade them, you'll probably want to do that. Then you'll have a pair of $80 speakers that you don't need rather than a pair of 130 speakers that you don't need. Another reason I would pick the miccas is because they punch above their price range. Most people say they sound more like a pair of $125 speakers rather than a pair of $80 speakers. So, for real, they're good. Also, they're the smallest of the bunch.

Or, build a pair of C Notes and get something way better than any of these.

Hope this helps!

u/homeboi808 · 7 pointsr/hometheater

Receiver: Get the S720 factory refurb for the same price, it's usually still more than a new S510, but once you add it to your cart there is an extra 20% sale as A4L is celebrating 20 years. Audyssey alone makes it much better.

Sub: Get it from Parts Express. They are the ones selling it on Amazon, but with no shipping fee if you buy direct.

Fronts: Also get from PartsExpress, order together with the subwoofer to waive the shipping cost (orders <$100 get charged a fee).

Surrounds: Get their bigger brother, the XLBP, it's discounted to the same price. It's has a wood finish on the sides, but it shouldn't matter (I have wood floors, so they actually match a little).

Center: You ideally want them to match, but it's not the biggest thing in the world.

The Micca center is on backorder, FYI. I would try my hand at Craigslist and similar services, I bought a 3.0 for $75, and would blow away the Micca's.

EDIT: You seem to be wanting to go 3.0/3.1. The 12" Dayton goes down to 25Hz, so while it's not the best, it's still better than what most people have. However, of you really want to get good fronts, then I would forgo the sub for now. Without the sub or surrounds, it seems you would have ~$400 for a 3.0, which I would suggest either the Fluance Signature bookshelves and center or the HTD Level Two bookshelevs and center.

u/turdfergusonpdx · 5 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

easier to just throw out a few recommendations. the OP can take them or leave them afterall.

on a tight budget it's hard to beat these Micca's.

a step up from there would be Fluance. They're nearly twice as large but also exceptional for the price.

u/sharkamino · 3 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I haven't had any issues with rear ported speakers on my desk 2 inches to a wall, however I am not blasting them for near field use and I use them with a subwoofer.

Alternative to the ELACS:

u/jvorn · 3 pointsr/hometheater

The reason I hesitate to recommend this is because I like to present people with a clear upgrade path (i.e. you don't throw everything away when you upgrade, you take your small fronts and make them the surrounds when you buy bigger fronts for example), but at this low of a budget so many compromises are being made that you might feel like upgrade means swapping everything (eventually).

That being said, tons people have no problem with these items and think they are amazing, so your mileage may vary. These are great, well received speakers. If you are set on 2.1, here's what I got.

Option 1:

2x Jamo S 803 ($160 for pair)

1x AVR-S540BT 5.2-Ch x 70 Watts A/V Receiver from Accessories4Less @ $200

1x Polk Audio PSW10 Subwoofer @ $130

Total: $490

Stretches the budget a bit, but will sound great. Receiver does actually support 4k, but does lack room correction. Overall this is a nice system and the Jamo's are bang-for-buck kings (and they actually look decent, come in several finishes).

Option 2:

2x Fluance Signature Series HiFi ($200 for pair)

1x AVR-S540BT 5.2-Ch x 70 Watts A/V Receiver from Accessories4Less @ $200

1x Polk Audio PSW10 Subwoofer @ $130

Total: $530

Same idea, just different speakers. Also highly regarded/well reviewed.

Option 3: Forgoes subwoofer for clearer upgrade path

2x ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers @ $300 (comes in a pair)

1x AVR-S540BT 5.2-Ch x 70 Watts A/V Receiver from Accessories4Less @ $200

Total: $500

IMO, Elac Debut 2.0s crush everything else at this price point by a significant margin and is worth missing the sub (temporarily). The upgrade path down the road is clear here: first get a sub (huge fan of the Bic Acoustech PL-200 II Subwoofer @ $300 or the RSL Speedwoofer 10s (sold out until Oct) @ $400)), then get the rest of the Elac Debut 2.0 speakers (center channel, surrounds - they even offer on walls), and finally way down the road you upgrade your receiver to something that can deliver more power, which will make you Elacs sound even better/go louder.

Let me know if you have any questions!

u/picacat · 3 pointsr/hometheater

Is there room on the sides of the TV for speakers? Ideally they would be a couple feet to either side of the TV.

You probably just want to go with a 3.1 system, because the placement of the surrounds will be so wonky with a corner L-shaped couch and a corner TV that I don't think it would be worth it. You could do in-ceiling speakers, and do a 3.1.2 system though. https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/speaker-setup-guides/3.1.2-overhead-speakers-setup-guide.html

For $1,000 3.1.2 system I would get this:
Receiver - $300 (doesn't have eARC, but you probably don't need it)
Front L/R speakers - $200
Front center - $170
in-ceiling speakers - $80
Subwoofer - $250


If cutting holes into your ceiling to install speakers and run wiring is a daunting task, then just do a 3.1 system and you can spend more on the subwoofer. If you can push your budget this very high quality SVS PB-1000 subwoofer goes on sale on the outlet site for $400 several times a year, I imagine it will during labor day subwoofer option 2 - $400. It will be infinitely better than the $250 one linked above.

u/Armsc · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Here are some others I would consider

  • Polk S15 $200 - Decent sounding book of medium size. The smaller S10 may be a better fit if you're going to get a sub sooner than later.
  • Boston A26 $200 - This is very smooth sounding bookshelf speaker. Currently on sale.
  • Boston A25 $150 - a bit smaller than the above but you will loose a bit on the low end.
  • NHT Super One 2.1 $200 - Larger sealed bookshelf that will probably need sub even though it's larger.
  • NHT Super Zero 2.1 $120 - Small sealed book this will sound very thin without the sub but the reduced price will help get that sub quicker.
  • Fluance Sig Series $200 - Medium sized, front ported speakers.
u/_Dozier_ · 2 pointsr/hometheater

Receiver

Denon S540BT - $150

Sub

Dayton 1200 Sub - $150

You have more options for bookshelf speakers, but most will be $200-$300.

Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 - $240

Fluance Signature Series - $200

Wavecrest HVL-1 - $160

u/deepak_a · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I recommend passive speakers over active simply because of the flexibility it offers you when you want to upgrade.
Since you mentioned Canada, I would recommend the Fluance signature series https://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Signature-Bookshelf-Surround-HFS/dp/B01A5UB4JU


And instead of buying a cheap mini amp for new , look for a used Yamaha/NAD/Onkyo on Craigslist

u/Frede154 · 2 pointsr/hometheater

If you're ready for a receiver upgrade, there's nothing better at $150 than an avr-x1400h. If you're not ready he can pick up a Denon s540bt for $150 or a Denon s730h for $220. I'd pick the 540 for an under $1,000 setup.

Bic America F12 Subwoofer (if wife allows)

Now you have quite a few choices for LCR. I'd start with Elac Debut 2 B6.2 and Matching Center. For ~$570.

Leave the rest for cables and upgrading surrounds for later. I'm currently pretty happy with my Polk owm3 for $100 but I have rear space restrictions.

You can also go the Fluance Route Fluance L& R, Matching center, and Bipole Surrounds for ~$500

u/chilighost · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I'm wondering if I can get some help/advise in regards to speakers for my Fluance RT81 that is currently on order. I have narrowed it down to these two sets: Fluance Signature Series Bookshelf Speakers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A5UB4JU/ref=twister_B01BKWQW3A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Klipsch R-15M Bookshelf Speakers: https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R-15M-Bookshelf-Speaker-Pair/dp/B00LMF41IY/

Both seem to be passive speakers so I would need an amp as well apparently. I don't plan to connect them to a AV receiver - just the turntable and speakers. Can anyone recommend a good amp for this setup? I found this one on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/ART-DJPREII-Audio-Turntable-Preamplifier/dp/B000AJR482/) which seems to get decent reviews.

I am new to vinyl but I want speakers that have some good bass to them (without a sub) since I won't be connecting to a receiver. Which of these speakers will provide the best highs and enough bass?

Any recommendations would be helpful - thank you!

u/NashvilleDude · 2 pointsr/hometheater

Without a lot of info, but assuming you want to keep it all pretty basic, this is my best shot. Before taxes you're at $687, but you could downgrade the sub to the Sub-1000, or skip the rear channels altogether for now. You'll need some speaker stands for the front, mounts for the rear, speaker wire, etc. So, not a perfect list, but here we go:

u/Nixxuz · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Fluance Signature Series

If you don't have an amp, the SMSL Q5 Pro powers them nicely, but puts you just slightly over budget.

u/callan752 · 1 pointr/AVdeals

Camel Camel Camel Says this is 50% off. Wow.

Amazon also have a wood color variant for the same price.

Seems to be a consistent price drop at every retailer in both black and Wood.

Newegg Black and Wood

Rakuten Black and Wood

Same with Jet: Black and Wood

My guess is they are clearing out inventory?

u/Duplicating · 1 pointr/audiophile

I was interested in purchasing some speakers to go with my PC.

I have Audio Technica M50S's that I'd like to still use and be able to switch between speakers to headphones easily.

My motherboard has a bunch of coax outputs and an Optical SPDIF output.

The speakers I was interested in purchasing were the Fluance Signature Bookshelf speakers : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A5UB4JU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1WPEQCN6WJKZG

I'm really new to trying to hook up speakers and audio equipment. My budget is around $400. I'm open to any suggestions when it comes to speakers, DACs, AMPs, receivers, anything. Do I even need a DAC + AMP?

u/JakeDaSoup · 1 pointr/audiophile

Im looking into buying the Fluance Signature Series System and am wondering how much i would need to spend to actually power these things. Also, if i wanted to get a woofer in the future would i need a receiver or can a small amplifier power a sub, thank you!

Also have a question about a 5 channel mixer, i would like a 5 channel mixer as i have a few pairs of headphones, but if i got one, could i power a speaker system off of it? or even a subwoofer?

u/654456 · 1 pointr/hometheater

Get a center that will match your the towers you want. Or start with a good sub and save up for matching fronts.

All in on my fronts was $300. Fluance. I got the book shelves a little cheaper than their current price. Eventually I am going to get their towers and move the book shelves to the rear.

u/highroller038 · 1 pointr/hometheater

I see lots of commenters recommending high-end stuff which is understandable since you are building your own house and having a large dedicated space for a banging HT. A good 7 channel receiver plus a subwoofer powerful enough for your large room will add up to $1000 pretty quick. Heck, I'd reccomend two subwoofers for a space that large. I will probably get downvoted, but let me help you find some more budget friendly choices.

Receiver $300 - DENON
AVR-X1400H


Subwoofer $300 - Bic Acoustech PL-200 II

Front LR $200 - Fluance Signature Series

* Matching Center - $150

Surround and Rear Surrounds - Micca MB42X 2x$80

This puts you just slightly over budget. also factor in speaker mounts / shelves / stands, cables, etc.... There's obviously lots of options and everyone has their own opinions. Have fun researching, I hope this helps!

u/Eggerz · 1 pointr/hometheater

Fronts -
Ultra Bookshelf Speaker

Center - Ultra Center Speaker

Rears - Fluance Signature Series

Subwoofer - Rythmik FVX15

Does this sound good?

I guess i should of said this along time ago, i plan on moving in about 1-2 years to a bigger house

u/turker34 · 1 pointr/vinyl

I've been listening with headphones since I've gotten my turntable and I decided I'd like to get some speakers for it as well. I've got a Fluance turntable as well as a Little Dot Mk2 headphone amp. I've been considering getting these speakers. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm assuming I'm going to need another amp for the speakers? Any suggestions on a mid priced amp, or will the Mk2 work for speakers as well? Will those speakers work fine with my turntable? Any help is appreciated!

u/dragonbeard311 · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

I'm 95% set on those Fluance Signatures you recommended. '95%' as in I haven't gotten around to purchasing them yet. And I probably will throw in a Dayton 1200 sub once I get my tax return. I'll run the L/R through the sub, to the Fluance. Whatcha think?

u/nicking44 · 1 pointr/audiophile

Hello.

I have some questions regarding purchasing of speakers. This will be used for a TV and computer setup, I want to be able to switch between at least 3 inputs Computer, TV, Bluetooth (for phone)

I'm looking for a good set I want a hard-cap of about $400-500 (everything together) but if it's not to much more I might make some more exception

But generally aiming for the $200-250 range (At least on speakers alone), I looked at the recommended speaker sets in the post and I would like something more in-line with the $100 set but better quality.

I'm generally looking for a 2, 2.1 speaker setup (As I have a set of Logitech z506 5.1, but want better sound, not sure if I should go 2.1 or stick with 5.1) but this will be in my bed room as well

I was following this guide Which I found a couple months back but haven't bought anything yet (New PC build first then audio setup) and I liked the look of these speakers the best. but also thinking of possible wall mounting them as well, but I want to wait and see until everything is ordered and setup where Id like them to be.

Would this be a good guide to follow, or is there stuff you would change to make it a bit better, or just overall better, any ideas/recommendations for ease of convenience onto me? (I do want to have a clean setup so I'd prefer to have a slightly longer cable then a short cable.

u/FULL_METAL_HOODIE · 1 pointr/hometheater

My concern with bipoles(and especially dipoles) on the walls there would be a potential phasing issue with a reflection off of the back wall. There would also be an associated gain from the rearward facing speakers of the bipole firing into corners.

Since it doesn't seem like you're opposed to wall mounting speakers, you could go for something like the Polk OWM3 which have a variety of mounting options and could even be mounted in the back corners firing into your room or these JBL Studio 210's firing in towards your couch. These Fluance Signature Series bookshelves are front ported and come with a place to wall mount them as well. Good luck

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.

u/spennnyy · 1 pointr/hometheater

Thanks so much for the feedback. Based on yours and some other comments, I think I'll start with receiver, L/R, then center, then subwoofer.

> What are you trying to listen on headphones?

For the headphones I'm just hoping for a simple solution to pass all audio, be it console, built-in chromecast, blueray player, to 1 or 2 headphones. I am interested in getting a Shield eventually, but currently my TV's built in streaming options are suitable.

---

Thought on these alternatives to Polk?

u/adamwinn · 1 pointr/hometheater

> This Denon seems to have multieq for Ausyssey version, which is quite shitty. I think you can find something with Audyssey XT for this kind of money.

I remember thewirecutter saying a level above the receiver in my post had a better Ausyssey system, so I'll look into that and see if it's the Audyssey XT. It looks like the Denon AVR-X1400H has Audyssey XT and it's only $50 more.

>It’s not especially overkill but it’s not useful. Most floorstanders are incapable of doing what a sub does anyway.

I've read on here that bookshelves and a sub are just as good as floorstanders and a sub. I just like the look of floorstanding a lot better tho. It seems weird to have a lil bookshelf on a speaker pole next to your tv. I also read you'd wanna go with the RP line with Klipsch so then your floorstands are more epensive and around $700 for the RP-250Fs as opposed to some bookshelves like the Fluance which are $300. And then I can take that money and get the svs pb-1000 sub that /u/GbMaxSE suggested, assuming floorstanders sound no different than bookshelves

u/Mahadragon · -3 pointsr/audiophile

You might want to consider Sonos Play 1. A pair would sound amazing, not as good as your KEF's, but then again, the KEF's aren't powered speakers either and you can't play music directly from your smart phone into them. The sound quality from the Play 1's is decidedly laid back (as opposed to being bright). You'd save some money, make your wife happy and would be able to enjoy the latest technologies in wireless audios. Plus, the Play 1's don't have to be on a stand, they are just as happy on the wall/ceiling.

On that tip, (saving money that is) consider Fluance bookshelves: https://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Signature-Bookshelf-Surround-HFS/dp/B01A5UB4JU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527368481&sr=8-1&keywords=fluance+bookshelf&dpID=51uK8zZE4vL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Again, maybe not as fancy as the KEF's but Fluance is a Canadian speaker company. Support your local economy mate! KEF is part of a Chinese conglomerate.
