I have my amp and i need some speakers. Its going to be used for rear speakers so i don't need something crazy high end. I was looking @ this sony, which seems to get good reviews http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SS-B1000-8-Inch-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000OG88KY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1318032276&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: Sony SS-B1000 5 1/8-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair): Electronics[/URL]

I don't know whats good though, hope you audio guys can help me

I hate sony speakers...I would get these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290200

But I highly recommend these
loljk

 

[iCrap]

0_0 anything cheaper than $100? Thats like super overkill for rear speakers.

And btw ordered 7 of those Definitive Tech ones for super surround
loljk.

 

[Sean Webster]

Idk, i think you will be fine with your 7 Definitive Tech ones...lol

The sony will be fine then, I can't find anything worth the price below 100. Maybe a little more for these: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Bookshelf+speakers&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=930&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=7104137306003431357&sa=X&ei=zZqPTtXJFZOatwebsPyJDA&ved=0CIIBEPMCMAE

Those Sony's are absolutely garbage. The Polk Monitor 30's are great, but not for $120. They're usually on sale for like $80.

Or you can look into Dayton B652's from Parts Express. They're only $30 and sound very close to the Polk Monitor 30's.

I'm actually using my Dayton B652's as my rear channel in 7.1 right now.

They are very great at $30. I was honestly happy using them as 2.0 speakers too.

Also still cant find any info on the "8 inch sub"

OH also my amp is a Yamaha AX-500u... might as well ask... is this going to work fine with those Daytons?

 

[Sean Webster]

Wow, yeah only $30...I think you helped me pick out some extra speakers lol 7.1 here I come.

 

[iCrap]

Well its 40 bucks. Im going to order those tonight.

I would also like a sub but i have no idea on even where to start with that.

edit yea its 30 bucks on parts express
Going to get it from them i guess, are they a good seller?

That price is absolutely horrible. They're $29.90 on parts express (plus shipping unless you spend $100, then its free shipping).

Those Sony's are garbage, ignore them.

If you can increase your budget $11 more, you can look into the BIC Venturi DV62si's for $111 free shipping.

EDIT:
What's your budget for a subwoofer?

 

[iCrap]

Oh damn i thought it was 30 shipped... well its 12 bucks shipping so its actually a little cheaper on amazon... also I've got prime.

OK, should i just order the Daytons then? these are just rear speakers. I will do the front ones later.

And onto the topic of a sub... what should i get? what is good up to $150?

 

[AgentHydra]

PE's shipping is kinda expensive, for me it would be cheaper to buy off Amazon but it depends on where you live.

 

[Sean Webster]

I have this as my sub...pioneerisloud may have some crazy uber suggestion though lol

Back to parts express. For $150 subwoofer again, you won't beat a Dayton. Not being brand loyal here, but on a tighter budget, they just can't be beat.

Dayton SUB120 - $150 Shipped.

Add those B652's in at Parts Express while you're at it then, since your order will be over $100. Save another $12 that way.

EDIT:
Back when I had a SUB120, it was linear down to about 28Hz. That's very low for a $150 subwoofer.
