+ active speakers
you are evil
People robbing a banks this days is not easy.
But it looks like that 7.1 PC systems are dead and the alternatives are overpriced.
TBH even before none of the 7.1 or 5.1 PC speaker setups were that good or worth the money anyway. The cabling was shitty. The non bass channels sounded tinny. And the pathetic excuse for a subwoofer sounded imprecise and muddy/thuddy. They were all fairly goddamn awful.
Hop on Craigslist. It is quite easy to put together a 5.1 or 7.1 AVR and speaker system used affordably....and it would knock the pants off any PC speaker setup. The AVR system I have in my sig rig I put together for less than $150USD.
I had a setup like this in my head.
But can i do a 7 speaker setup without a separate subwoofer? I'm trying to find speakers that have a subwoofer built-in. What AVR and Speakers would you guys recommend?

For now small speakers would be good but i'm also buying new furnitures in 6 months so i could also use larger speakers if that improves the sound quality.
Yes i could spend 400 euros, but i have the feeling that it is hard to get 7 good speakers for 400 euros.
hmmmm...just came out with an idea
it's very likely that your sound-card already has a 5.1 output (bonus points if you have a good soundcard like a x-fi or z)
so just get some active studio monitors:
for example you can get 4 of those:

and add later this sub:

or get this 2.1 and add later:

or go with the 8in for front:

and add:
http://www.bax-shop.nl/dj-studio-mo...studio-monitor-set-van-2/product-details.html
with this last setup the 8in have enough bass that a sub is not as necessary
not sure where in the EU you are so I posted a dutch site
There are other cheap active monitor options like behringer in this price range
Honestly, this way, you will get way better quality than some cheapo crappy 5.1/7.1 all in one solution or some crummy cheap av receiver/speakers
That last part ENTIRELY depends on your taste. True near-field monitors should be neutral in output and not flatter the signal additionally, in other words they're honest about how the signal sounds. Whether you like that sound or not is VERY much personal opinion.
Further many near-field "monitor" speakers aren't really flat. They're just labeled "reference" or "monitor" just to crank up the price.
I disagree ... in this price range ~500 EUR (excluding any super deals on used gear) all he can get is crummy all in ones or ultra low end receiver + speakers. All will sound far worse than what I posted IMO
if he starts with just a 2.0 he can even fit in some Adams
