7.1_ht_noob Unregistered guest | I'm excited because I finally got to the point where I can put together my 7.1 system. I bought a 50" Sony SXRD last week and am ready to move to my AV receiver and speaker options. I'm leaning heavily toward the Yamaha RX V-2600 but I am at a loss on what speakers to get. I wired for 7.1 last year and am ready to make that happen!! Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!! Thanks!! |

Windork Unregistered guest | Good choice, Yamaha is good stuff. As far as speakers go, to fully appreciate a good set of speakers you have to know what bad or mediocre ones sound like right? I suggest you don't buy an expensive set till you really know what you want. By the time you know (months/years later) you should have enough saved for a great set and you'll know you got what you paid for. Just a suggestion, it's what I did and I'm quite happy with my setup. Call it an education. |

Paradigm seems to be a favorite with Yamaha owners. There is also Ascend Acoustics. You should also consider them as well. http://www.ascendacoustics.com/ |

I am new to this and have a Yamaha RX-v750 but have not decided what speakers to go with yet. I am putting this in the family room (20 X 21 with 10 foot ceilings and hardwood on the walls). I am considering the RF35 floorstanding speakers with RC-35 center channel and some CDT-2800-C (8" round ceiling mount with aimable tweeter and woofer) for both the rear and surround (7th channel) and rounding out with the RW-10 sub. Any opinions? This system will serve double duty, 75% music, 25% surround sound/theater. |
