home theater speakers??? which ones? - Toyota Yaris Forums

hey, i'm looking into buying a set of speakers for the house. i cant decide.

as of now i'm looking into klipsch and polk. i dont want to spend more than about 500 bux, maybe 600.

i know polk, and i'm not too familiar with klipsch but the more i look into them tehy more i like them. i went to best buy and found a mp3/laptop 2.1 set from klipsch and it was awesome compared to other similar priced/designed stuff. played louder, cleaner, looked better, sounded better...even than harmon/kardon. it was a little more expensive than the HK but it was worth the few bux to get the klipsch.

now, the set i'm looking into from polk doesnt include a sub and they're 500. the set from klipsch is the HD theater 500, and it's got a sub with it. it's klipsch bottom line next to the HD 300 set which im not interested in...and the next step up for klipsch is like 1800 bux. but if it's anything like any other higher end stuff, even the bottom line is good. i mean you can't buy a crappy bmw or mercedes...so this is similar.

any way, any other input would be helpful, and i dont want to spend a ton of money cuz i'm moving into a new house and theater isnt top of the list...but it's important enough to spend some money

oh, they'll be hooked up to a new yamaha 400 series receiver...dont know the specific model but it's brand new, came out about 2 months ago so it's good.
