Polk Audio Monitor70 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) $150 + Free Shipping Newegg

The infinity 363's are vastly better speakers and cheaper. If shipping was $60 for the pair, I'd be getting another pair just because. Anyone with a fry's local... I'm jealous.

I'm considering the Jamo S 426 HCS 3 WENGE 5-Piece Home Theater System setup for $170 shipped [amazon.com] instead... comparable? This would give me rears as well...

ordered with the center but its too wide... going to try to cancel, sucks.

I can't comment on the bookshelf and center speakers in that set, but I did have the floorstanding when newegg had them for 100 bones earlier this year. They were very solid speakers, with a nice sound, but light on the low end. $170 seems like a decent deal for that complete set and if you throw in a powered subwoofer, such as the Bic F12 or V-1220, you'll have the low end covered.

this is kind of off topic, but i'm looking to get a system going for my apartment. don't know the size of the living room, but the whole unit is about 750 sq ft.

would getting the monitor 50s and CS1 for front, plus something else to fill the rears, and a PSW10 be a decent set up?

For your size apartment it will be more than enough. I started with a PSW10 sub, M40's as the fronts and CB-5's as rears in an apartment. Couldn't really get crazy because it was an apartment.

If you are going to be in the market for a more permanent residence (single family home) in the near future, then maybe consider getting something a step up such as the CS2 center and a BIC F12 sub. I promise you will want to upgrade.

I just bit the bullet. I just hope I don't see them cheaper on black friday

Quote from hightop32 : I appreciate your opinion and sales example, however I'm not sure the recent re-explosion of sales has a direct correlation with 'true hi-fi enthusiasts'. Also, its easy to confuse 'insanely rich and can throw a bunch of money at something' and 'enthusiasts'. If anything i think the re-ignition of (ironically) electronic music and the 'DJ'-culture/scene has been the main driver, not a sudden wave of people who are enthusiastic about accurate sound/music reproduction. And, just so you know, your tone is coming off a bit like david cross on this very hilarious mr. show skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC...o1A&t=1m7s

Love Mr. Show But I think you're very wrong. Djs are going more and more digital. It's all apple logos and pushbutton sound effects. True turntablism is almost a lost art. While the new audiophile / hobbyist is scooping up vinyl old and new. Sales are surging because it offers a different and in some ways superior listening experience. Cassettes came and went. CDs are in decline. Obviously digital content is the future, but vinyl will survive and thrive. You don't have to throw much money around either. Besides reasonably priced new turntables, there are some screaming deals on vintage hifi stuff at goodwill, estate sales and flea markets that put a lot of newer stuff to shame. The sound is just unbeatable.

I don't have any friends.

Thanks! Repped.

Quote from Mike_Hawk : 8350 and yes, for the price point it's farking AMAZING However, I'm never content. I'd like more. As soon as this bulb goes belly up I'm gonna be on the lookout for the even better light cannon on the market today.

Totally agree... I have the 8350, and for the price, it is GREAT. For me it was an upgrade from a ~10 year old Sony VPL-VW10HT... and that thing was great in its day!

Quote from phawkyoutoo : that's what i'm running. 70's/cs2 up front, 50's in the rear, along with 2 pl-200's to compliment! What a rumble!!

nice!

Stewed over this all weekend, deciding if I should buy the 70's. I have a feeling newegg is about out of these and there won't be more coming, so I pulled the trigger on the 70's AND the 50's. My wife is going to kick my @ss for this. lol

Can anyone give real world dimensions on the speakers since they said they are bigger then they look?

I'm checking to see if they will fit.

What's w all these my wife's gonna kill me talk. You work and make money, right?

For those who are worried about wives, splurge on a nice dildo for them along w the 70's.
