Onkyo TX-NR676 - $339.00.

Polk T30 center channel - $89.99

Polk PSW10 10" subwoofer - $99.99

Polk T50 towers for the front speakers - $89.99 x2 = $179.98

Polk T15 Bookshelf speakers for the rear surrounds - $59.00 x2 = $118.00

Total: $824.98. Throw in ~$70 for sales tax and another $30-40 for audio cable and $5 for an HDMI cord. You can save $60 by switching the front towers for T15s.

The Onkyo can be expanded to 5.1.2 for Atmos, and supports DTS:X as well. 4K passthrough and it supports every audio format up through Atmos. It's a fantastic AVR, especially at that price.

EDIT: fixed link for T50 towers.

I'm seeing this and crying:

https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-T50-Theater-Standing/dp/B013LIN5W2

(I've seen it a lot cheaper in other sites, but the Amazon comparison is really crazy)

u/moosefist · 1 point r/BudgetAudiophile

I don;t know much about them, but the polk audio t50 towers are $75 on amazon now. They are normally $120 a piece.

Maybe those and a $50 craigslist receiver. Curios if something like the smsl 60 can power them....

u/Karavusk · 1 point r/BudgetAudiophile

Too. Many. Different. Ways. To. Do. This.....

Ok lets get a few options and then decide what to go for...

2x JBL LSR305 for 135€ each + 12€ cable + under 100€ active sub that I can add later (still need a suggstion D:)
Polk Audio T50 for 150€ a pair and an amp (which one? D:)? That would be enough?

I guess I will do one of these... I would love to have more options for different speakers but there aren't that many quality speakers for a good price on Amazon.

That tower options sounds really good but then again a lot of people write that you should get bookshelf speakers and add a subwoofer later instead. Could you do me a favor and try to find a good powered subwoofer for under 100€ on amazon.de ? I still got 0 recommendations about that...

edit: nvm seems to be each and not for a pair

u/Armsc · 1 point r/BudgetAudiophile

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but like a lot of NFL teams, you need help everywhere. Okay, so you have a basic 2.0 setup for a TT and bluetooth. There are several ways to go with this lets outline them and talk though them then you can decide. These are not in any kind of order just a list. I'm not an active guy so my recommendations will passive.

AMP

AVR - Sony STDH590 $180 - Ok it's over budget I get it but you're getting a new AVR for under two bills. This gets you more power, remote, auto setup, tone controls, digital inputs (expansion), xover for mains, sub out and multi-channel expandability. Whew...major upgrade over the little amp you currently have. Adjust the crap out of the tone controls to get the most out of the mains you have. This sets you up well for the future.
AMP - SMSL AD18 $120 - Anther amp upgrade that gets you many but not all of the features above. If you need a smaller form factor and don't want to expand into a surround/HT setup this could be your guy.

Speakers
BIC DV62 $120 - These are about the same size as the speakers you have but will go much lower to get the bass that you're currently missing. If you're going to stay with a 2.0 then I would consider these.
Dayton T652 AIR $135 - Tower versions with an upgraded tweeter to the ones that you have. These reach down a good bit lower than the ones you have but not as low as the BIC ones above. They are also towers so there's there.
Polk T50 $80 ea/160 - Over budget but they do go the lowest of all the speakers, they are towers so again make sure you have room. The use of the radiators makes placement more forgiving vs a rear port that will need more room off the wall.
Sony SSCS5 $80 - Books that don't go as low as the BICs but they do get good reviews for being budget speakers. * You could pair these with the Sony sub on sale for $100 to get a 2.1 going for just more than you're budget.
Polk S15 $165 - Medium sized books that go lower than what you have currently have. These probably sound the best to me and look better than the rest.

Subs - If you wanted to go to a 2.1 setup with your current speakers.
Sony SACS9 $100 - Ok it's not going to be great but it's in budget and has speaker level inputs. It would give you a low end that you're missing with the current speakers.
Dayton Sub 1000 $120 - This is the 10" version but any version will add to the low end that the current speakers are not giving you. Speaker level inputs will work for you current setup.

Full upgrade - SMSL AD13 $75 and the Sony SSCS5 $75 puts you at budget but with a better amp (not as good as the above ones) and better speakers.

Hi,

I've posted in this thread before but got no replies. I'll try again.

Looking for a budget setup for my friends wedding present.
Looking for a 2.1 system with tower speakers.

Currently have my eye on the polk T50's
https://www.amazon.ca/Polk-Audio-T50-Speaker-Single/dp/B013LIN5W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522449823&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=polk+t50

Total budget is 750$ CAD.

Anyone have a better set of tower speakers to buy? What kind of receiver/sub should i pair with these to keep it in budget?

Thanks!

u/nmpraveen · 1 point r/hometheater

Is this any good? https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-T50-Theater-Standing/dp/B013LIN5W2 (Polk t50)

u/Speedogomer · 1 point r/BudgetAudiophile

I dont see these mentioned.

Sony SSCS3 $159 each but can find sales for $99 each

Polk T50 $99 Each

If I had $300 to spend on floorstanders that I'm worried about bass, I'd probably go the bookshelf and stand route.

u/GbMaxSE · 1 point r/hometheater

>Floor standing speakers (Link): Cheap and well reviewed
>
>subwoofer (Link): Again cheap and well reviewed.

Well reviewed... ON AMAZON.

&#x200B;

Never. Trust. Electronics. Reviews. On. Amazon. It's borderline amazing those fucking mouthbreathers can operate a keyboard and mouse, they certainly are not qualified to leave audio equipment reviews.

The Polk T50 towers are... Livable, if you literally MUST have towers and have NO money to spend.

The PSW10 subwoofer is one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make in a subwoofer. STraight hot garbage that does next-to-nothing well.

u/mattSER · 1 point r/audiophile

For $500, you're going to need to buy used if you want some big speakers.

There are a few new options though:

As far as speakers, do you recommend these, these, or these?

Would this be a good choice for my receiver? I would of course order it from accessories4less.

I'm leaning towards the following:

While 2 of 3 of these tops Amazon's #1 list on those categories I wanted to get more input.

u/IAMA_Dumba55_Fan · 1 point r/audiophile

I am new to the home theater/audio hobby. I am looking to start simple with my new HT setup. I have a receiver, but am looking for new speakers. Can I start with just a front left/right? Are these viable options?

bookshelves
floorstanding

or
wall mounted

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

u/akajester · 0 points r/hometheater

I hope you don't mind I found some examples. Onkyo TX-SR444 $319. Monoprice 5.1 speaker set $150. Logitech Harmony Smart Control $70. This will get you something to setup and learn with and it should sound better than what you've had before with a ton more options. The Onkyo has great built in software and a mic to help do some automatic speaker calibration. You can also tweak it manually when you learn more. You can add rear speakers later if you want 7.1. If after a while you find the fronts/center aren't "full" enough you can add something like this and this. When I got started this really helped me out. Reading and research and asking questions helps a ton! Enjoy.

u/Toasterferret · -1 points r/gaming

Well, a pair of these bad boys will run you about $150: https://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-T50-Theater-Standing/dp/B013LIN5W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480097255&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=standing+floor+speaker

From there you just need to pick up an audio receiver to run them. That's a more personal decision. You can find a 2.0 or 2.1 model for a bit cheaper, or you can plan for the future and get a 5.1 or 7.1 that can handle surround sound.

All in all you can give yourself a really nice setup for about $250 that is going to be a gigantic jump in quality from what you get out of a soundbar or tv speakers.

u/polypeptide147 · -1 points r/BudgetAudiophile

> it will get bashed around a lot

The speakers have a cover so that shouldn't be a problem.

> the speaker wire might make it difficult to set up

You could get some banana plugs for it to make it easier. The amp will accept those but the speakers won't, however, the speakers are easy to plug in, since they have a little spring loaded mechanism that allows you to just snap the speaker wire right into it.

That's just my two cents though.

For more money, these towers actually have plugs where banana plugs can just go right in them, so plugging them in and unplugging them really is a breeze (that's the point of banana plugs).
