Rick | Can someone give me recomendation for the best HT 6.1 system for $1200. Will listen to more music then tv but want both options to work well. Is it possilble. |

Derek | Give a listen to Denon's 1803 and Onkyo's 600 as your receiver. They both are around $500. The other $700 - I would listen to Energy's take 5.2 or one of the Athena system. Low-end Paradigms are also good. 5.1 is easy. You can buy another speaker for the sixth channel at a later date. Hope this helps. |

Rick | Thanks for reply. I'll try to sample those next week. Which one whould you recomend? |

Phil Krewer | Rick, Here's another thought if you like the Denon. The Mirage speakers are made by the same company as the Energy and Athena systems. I haven't heard the speakers but they're suppose to be very similar to the Take 5.2s. With this you'd get the 1803 and a 6.1 system. Shipping is free and with the extra $200 you could by a nice DVD player. http://www.tweeter.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1124398 Phil |

Karthik | Since, I started out with 1200 budget and tried few combinations, here are my recommendations yamaha 5550 (costs around 300 at most authorized dealers, less if u go to unauthorized internet dealers). Main Speakers - assuming u would want good quality stereo music, i suggest 3/2 way speakers - 3-way floor standing - JBL N38 3-way bookshelf - JBL S38 (both around $300) JBL N24s for rear surrounds & N-center for center channel (total less than $300) The remaining, u could invest in a sub or a DVD player Hope this helps |
