Hey all,
I've been toying with the idea of putting in a 5.1 receiver in my livingroom for oh - probably 15 years now, and never gotten around to it.
I'm not a huge surround sound enthusiast, but I know I want to get a proper receiver and speakers, not some desktop speaker 5.1 kit.
It can't be pricy though.
This speaker kit on Monoprice seems like it might do the trick for a surprisingly low price.
I've been googling around for budget priced receivers that might work well with them.
I'm thinking maybe the Sony STR-DH550 or maybe the The Onkyo TX-SR353 could do the trick, but I know very little about speaker and receiver compatibility. I don't need to wake the dead, just get decent quality surround sound
Also, what on earth is 5.2 sound? Dual subwoofers?
Both of these are about as much as I want to spend (~$150 for speakers, ~250 for receiver)
Are there any other better options in this price range I should be looking at?
Much obliged,
Matt
