Alright.

The search is on full time now. I am building my pop's a HT setup, and need 5 speakers for him. I got him a Pioneer Elite AVR for starters, and am looking at a CS350LS for sale in the FM now. Is this a good center? What speakers to would you recommend to compliment it?

Anyways, if anybody has any sets they wish to part with, post it here, and I'll take them off your hands for my dad's setup!

Thanks guys.

    Choices... I like Choices...

    Lay them on me 'Dog. I'm debated if I wanna drop 300 on the speaks anonymouse has. Are they any good for HT? Or strickly music speaks?

    EDIT: Ok, I am not going to go with the RTA12's... I personally can't stand that tweeter looking thing on top. Just too funky old fashion. I don't care how it sounds. :) It's gotta look good too!

    Thanks anyways anonymouse.

    12Cs are fantastic speakers, imo. They should come with a cover (hat) so that no one has to see the high frequency assembly. I actually think those are the coolest looking Polk speakers, but I can certainly understand that they aren't for everyone.

    Two Channel Setup:

    Speakers: Wharfedale Opus 2-3
    Integrated Amp: Krell S-300i
    DAC: Arcam irDac
    Source: iMac
    Remote Control: iPad Mini

    3.2 Home Theater Setup:

    Fronts: Klipsch RP-160M
    Center: Klipsch RP-160M
    Subwoofer: SVS PB12NSD (X 2)
    AVR: Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030
    Blu Ray: Sony BDP-S790
    TV Source: DirecTV Genie

    If you want free standing speaker:
    Polk Audio R50 Speaker (Cherry) $60 at Frys.com
    They put this sell on and off. The nice thing is your can place them any where including sides if you have a room that is not rectangular.
    Use for front and or sides and or rear. This is if your trying to keep you cost down.

    Hope the info helps,
