[>GUIDE<] - Surround Sound (5.1+)

In order to put together a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound system you need only three things.

Surround Receiver
Some Speakers
A Subwoofer

Pick a budget (usually above $500) and assemble your system. If you don't think you can afford a good system right away consider starting with a 5.1 receiver and only two decent speakers. That basic 2.0 can have a sub added down the line making it a 2.1 and as funds become available you can add rear speakers or move the initial budget speakers to the rear, get better fronts and then add a center.

There is no harm in building a system up over time.

-- This is the most important thing you can learn!

{5.1 vs 7.1 Note:} Your room makes this determination. If the room you are in does not have at least 6 feet of open space behind your seating positions you are likely not going to fit a 7.1 properly and should stick to 5.1

{.1 and .2} This simply means a subwoofer(s). Since it isn't a full range channel they just indicate it as an addon. Don't worry about having a .1 and wanting two subs. A simple RCA SPLITTER can give that to you. It is more a marketing ploy to sound cooler.

{MultiEQ, Audyssey, Room Correction} These are features/programs that receivers come with to automatically 'fix' room acoustics. It uses a supplied microphone to try and detect speaker response range, distance, reverb delay, etc etc etc.. It can help oddly shaped or echoy rooms OR with mis-matched/bad speakers. You aren't required to run it but I recommend it if you hear any issues you don't like. (results vary and you can always UNDO it)

RECEIVERS (5.1+)

Look for the cheapest unit from a reputable brand that fits ALL/most of your needs (# of HDMI inputs, 5.1 or 7.1, Legacy inputs (S-Video, RCA-Video for old game consoles), Airplay, etc) Remember to mostly Ignore wattage (more than 90wpc is enough for 99% of speakers) and stick to the brands listed below or drop a comment if you find a good deal. Don't be afraid to look at last years models either, most times very few changes occur and only a few 'smart' features or HDMI ports are added with a facelift. You can also look for Refurbished Receivers to save some cash.

-#-	Item------------------	Description - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -	Cheapest
1	Denon	This is my most preferred brand. They are very clean looking, have amazing sound quality and some little features I like. Preset buttons and 1/2db volume increments make me happy. Affordability for beginners.	5.1--7.1
2	Marantz	Featuring the only 'slim' line of receivers on the market and absolutely state of the art UI and remote features. Amazing reliability and great support. BUT you will be paying extra for these features.	5.1--7.1
3	Yamaha	Sporting a remarkable amount of different receivers you will have to do some sorting. They have good sound quality and TONS of inputs including legacy but tend to have a confusing setup and remote layout.	5.1--7.1
4	Onkyo	Normally higher on my recommended lists some Onkyo AVR's have been plagued with recent design flaws and overheating issues. Still I can't fault everything they make so read reviews and choose wisely.	5.1--7.1
5	Pioneer	The Polk of receivers. They work and can be found at a bargain but since the Pioneer Elite line exists they tend to leave a ton of features off these entry level AVR's. That just means you can get them cheap.	5.1--7.1
6	Harmon/Kardon	Stylish but I can't find anything to really love about H/K. They 'work' but don't DO anything better than anybody else. You can usually find these at brick and Mortar Stores which means price matching heaven.	5.1--7.1
.

I am making a personal guarantee that all the speakers below will be good. They each have their strong suits but in the end it comes down to personal preference and what you can fit in the space and the budget. Most of these are sold in pairs but not all, most have a matching center but not all. If a matching center is not available you can use an additional single bookshelf or roll the dice and just get a very good center, MTM or LCR from another manufacturer. Rule of thumb is get a better center then your left and right if you can. Matching is also good. Bigger rooms usually need bigger speakers.

$60	Dayton B652-AIR	I have replaced the standard B652's with the Air revision because they are just that good. Crisp highs and the cheapest Air Motion Tweeter Speaker in the World. Will definitely fill a room on a budget.	Review
$90	Micca MB42x	Matching Center These are the speakers you are going to buy. They are small, sound great and even put out low end all on their own. I have clocked them at over 100db when powered properly and they LOOK GOOD which is rare in the cheap speaker biz.	Review
$150	Fluance SX6	Fluance makes some of the most surprisingly good cheap Home Theater gear out there. These speakers are no exception. These big ugly boxes kick quite a bit of ass. They get reasonably loud and are a bit more forgiving than most NEWER MODEL + Matching Center	Review
$230	WaveCrest HVL-1	Sold as a pair or in bundles for every amount. Amazingly clear vocals and a warm solid mid-range. Front porting makes them easy to place and the small size makes them easy to hide.	Review
$230	ELAC B5/6	Bigger B6 Andrew Jones does it again. These speakers are square, sexy and loud. I am not sure how hard to praise these as to not break the internet. New series is being released currently. Whole Series	Review
$280	Chane A1.4	Not your average Speaker. The Chane lineup is a no holds barred testament to engineering over marketing. Where word of mouth is what propels this brand. Matching Center	Review
$330	HTD Level3	Designed to be as loud and accurate as you need for a REAL home theater. Watch my review of these it says it all. They are however sized appropriately for that purpose. IE HUGE	Review
$400	JBL Studio 230	JBL now offers the biggest, baddest, loudest of their studio line with these. Efficient and great low end you get the sense they are based on the LSR305 but ... bigger. I suggest you watch the review to really understand how good these are. Matching Center	Review
$420	Klipsch RP150m	One of the finest things to come out of the modern klipsch wheelhouse. Clear and accurate without the scary highs the brand had become known for. Excellent extension and some of the best efficiency of this whole list. Low power older systems look no further. Matching Center	Review
$500	Elac Unifi UB5	OK, these are the speakers nobody can stop talking about. They have wow'd the audiophile shows and they deserve it. They may not get as loud as their cheaper B6 cousins but they have just that edge of clarity and imaging that put them on this list for this price. Music lovers should aim here. Matching Center	Review
$1000	SVS Ultra	SVS lives up to its reputation with these. Work just as well for music and movies. Insane soundstage and imaging and some of the most controlled bass of the lot. These are expensive for a reason and the most any normal person could want from a speaker. Matching Center	Review
$1250	PSA MT110	Now for the abnormals, these are essentially REAL movie theater speakers designed for REAL theaters. They get so loud and so loud and a have such a great clear sound and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.. Endgame.period. Consult the Mrs about these. Matching Center	Review

REAR CHANNELS

All the speakers above can be used as rears. BUT if you want specialty speakers or to get a bit cheaper then this is a list for that. Some of these speakers are (Di/Bi-pole) and throw sound in multiple directions, these types of speakers can only be used as rear channels in 5, 6 and 7.1 setups. These Bi/Di-pole are a worthwhile upgrade in most cases and don't worry about 'matching' your rear speakers to the fronts by brand or model as timbre has very little to do with off phase rears. So get the pair that works best for you and your room.

$40	Micca Covo-s	Tiny, coaxial, speaker. They do not have any mounting port so if you get these for rear duty prepare to screw them into a set of brackets to mount them properly. Review
$70	Sound Appeal	Front Port, narrow depth, big driver and sharp tweeter. These great in the role of rear speaker. Review
$100	Polk OWM3	While not Di or Bi-pole these OWM's are practically flat. They have built in mounts for corners or 'On Wall' positioning and are an affordable option. Come in Black or White Review
$120	Fluance AVBP2	The cheapest truly Bi-pole speaker you can buy. Usable for 5.1 or 7.1 applications in small rooms. Large rooms see the XPBP's Below
$200	Fluance XLBP	The big brother of the AVBP2's these can handle large rooms and may be more balanced with big front speakers.
$240	Bic America PL-66	Probably the biggest of the dedicated rears. These employ a passive radiator that keeps port noise down to 0.
$270	Klipsch R14S	While not part of their THX line these are sure to make some of the loudest noise of the group. Boom, smash WOOSH!
$350	Polk FXi A4	Designed to match polks larger series of speakers (which doesn't matter) it is just nice to see a full sized speaker with Di-pole tweeters available
