I wanna buy some big time speakers for my house for parties, but i know NOTTA about home audio. Like I want speakers they have at bars that will rock my house and BUMP. All my neighbors are college kids so I don't have neighbors to make mad. figure like 400 bucks for everything i'll need to be able to hook up an ipod or my mac |

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigTeam RD, Canada Post Number: 2060 Registered: Sep-05 | You will need a reciever and I would look to spend at least $300+ on one.....do not cheap out at all. For a budget Fluance makes great stuff! I have the Es1 tower speakers and my buddy has the SXHTB+5 and for they price they perform. We both have 120rms x 7 recievers. http://www.fluance.com/shop-speakers.html#floorstanding-speakers You will not get tons of bass from just having speakers you will NEED a sub and I no of no company that sells cheaper home theatre subs...try to look around locally for one as I found a $800 Velodyne sub for sale locally for $250 |

My sub is in about a 2000cubic foot room with two open areas into my kitchen.....she's loud. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 21074 Registered: Jun-06 | Yup. I put in about $1000 just in my HT sub alone. Granted you can't buy mine in stores. You're going to need a beefy amp if you're looking for, well, what you're looking for. It's not just the speakers that will set you back. And for what you're after it's not going to happen on 100w. Also consider that college life isn't easy on equipment. You'll have many a night where drinks will be spilled on your speaks and chicks climbing on top of them. Sounds fun until the next morning...... Also, get speaks with wheels, if they're going to be large enough. |
