Finally quit searching and ordered my new home theater setup. I chose the Onkyo 703, RTi8's for the fronts, FXi3's for the rears and the CSi5 for the center. :D


Onkyo TX-NR709 A/V Receiver
Polk RTi8's Front
In-Walls for Rears
CSi5 Center
SVS 20-39PCI Subwoofer

    The sub will probably be a SVS or Velodyne. May have to wait a month before I can get it. I have one now that I will use for the time being. It is a Sony (I know), but it will have to do for a little while.
    Will it make any difference if the FXi3 is mounted higher thatn 6'?

    Is $350 a good price for a DPS-12 Velodyne Sub?

    Forget about the low end Velos. They are not in the same league as Hsu or SVS.

    Yes, that's a good price...check out this review from a guy who just picked one up...pretty decent job.

    As the others mentioned, if you can stretch it another $120 bucks, the PB10 is in another class.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE
