recently, i am looking for 2.1 speakers, but i dont know which one.
i dont really like 5.1 cause it is too much for me.


thanks for the help

 

Chris,

Have you thought about a single speaker sound bar like this...

^^ Good suggestion - it has the advantage of being able to center up the dialogue. Talk to SwivelHips, he's got the Yamaha version of that and he loves it.

 

The high end Yamaha is IN-SANE it does full surround and it actually sounds REALLY good, add a sub and you're set

 

bose companion 3 series 2
or even better
bose companion 5.

The sound quality from these is amazing.

 

thanks Bill
but wow, this is out of my budget
i know this could be my present from you!!
i say thank you first!

 

thanks, hope he sees this thread.

 

yeah i thought about these two, but can it be used on a tv?
how about Bose's bookshelf speaker? does that work too?

thanks for the help man!

 

PM him if you have any questions, he won't mind at all.

 

hey , i work at the square one sony store , i can get you the sony sound bar , sounds pretty good , for saveing space,, pm me

 

they sure can. they are amplified, you set them on a medium volume setting and you adjust the volume through your tv. They have at least 2 rca inputs (maybe more, i have companion2)on the rear of them that hook up to your tv-audio-out, and even leave a spare in case you want to plug something else in there. I also like that there is no on/off switch, as they only come on when a source is detected (not sure about all the models, i know mine does this)

as for your bookshelf speakers, they may be good, but you need an amp to push them.

I vouch for their awesomeness. the quality is AMAZING

 

it would help if we knew what your budget is then.

yamaha sells some versions as well... the cheapest is around $449

OK guys, so far, i have lists of speakers that i am interested in...
Bose Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system
Bose Companion® 3 multimedia speaker system
Bose CineMate® home theater speaker system
Sony HTCT100

i havent heard the quality yet, so i am gonna to the store next weekend.
so yeah the budget is around 500-600= =

help me to choose!!!

 

See if it is still on sale at Dell / Best Buy. I just picked the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 THX certified for $280. It has toslink / optical in and onboard DTS decoding. I set it up for my parents but they are only using it in a 3.1 config. It actually has a decent sub and I am certain that it will beat those bose systems that you listed hands down.

 

the bose cinemate costs a bit more but is definitely more powerful.

haven't heard the logitech one bigwilly's talking about but seems like a good price.
