Can someone recommend some decent low cost satty's for me. I have the polk 800's and the 245 center. Being pushed by a Denon 3802. It rocks but I recently sold my old surround system and the rear's had to go with it! Any help would be much appeciated. I'd like to keep the price under $250:D

    for $250, that's tough:) it would be nice to keep polks all the way around. if you could spend a little more, or buy via ebay/used/classifieds i would recommend the fx/300i's or rt35i's. the rt15i's would be in your price range(under $250), but i would recommend saving a little longer to get the fx/300's if you can, even if you have to go a month or so with your old surrounds.

    depends what you are looking for....bipole/dipole or conventional bookshelves. If you are looking for conventional bookshelves, I employ a pair of R10's as rears and am quite happy with them to be honest and they are dirt cheap right now...

    Also, check with Aaron, I think he has some rears that he would like to unload. heh,heh,heh.

    they are not an authorized dealer. do a searh on this forum for the site, and you will find a thread containing people's thought's on this compnay. personally i've never purchased from them, just know they have good prices.

    I really appreciate everyone's responses to my query. I've already sold the other system. Plus i've been quite busy with work. (thank god i'm able to right now) What are the thoughts on my current setup. I'm been putting it together. When my friends hear it they are like WOW. Especially when you put in Ronin, and that growl, and intro, it's unbelievable! Thanks for all the input and time with my post! You guys rock!

    sub???

    I think the 800's are pretty juicy and with the 3802 you are off to a good start. You might want to think about upgrading to the 400i center and the rears, like I said, for what you want to spend, it can be done....

    let us know how it turns out, welcome to the group.

    i just got my 800's, and that's how everyone i've showed them to has responded as well. they are amazing speakers for the price. of course every single person has also said "now you need to get a bigger tv"....:(
