I am going to get a set of these for around $350 which seems reasonable for 505 watts. I was wondering if anyone had them and if they are any good. Since they cost so much I don't wanna throw away $350 before getting some advice.
Their good, If your on a budget then its pretty much the speakers to get, Ive got them and it meets my needs and if i have it up full it makes my ears hurt.
Picked up a set over two years ago and have worked very well. Replaced some older Cambridge soundworks 4.1's that where probly five years old. Night and day difference.
Only issue I had was getting the speakers setup with a Audigy platinum. Seems audigy does "to" much remedial stuff and whatnot and you basically have to disable some of it to get the sound right. For example switching from playing games to watching movies, you have to make some adjustments to both each time. Where as with just onboard sound I have no issues and only have to switch to digital for movies/music and direct for games.
I would maybe also suggest getting a battery backup with voltage regulation as our power here is very unclean and would cause my sub to hum sometimes. Once battery backup with V.regulation I have not had it do it since. But i use battery backups with AVR for all my pc equipment since the cost can save a few grand worth of equipment.
accessories4less.com has an onkyo hts790 7.1 htib for under 400 delivered. It is a great system for my home unless you are looking for something small or for computer use. I have one and LOVE IT!!!
