Yamaha NS-SP1800BL 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System for $88 w/FS

dang that's cheap. repped because i'm tempted.

Noob question....Can I connect these speakers to my bluray player?

Nope. You're gonna need a receiver, speaker wire, and banana plugs for convenient connections.

Thanx for the info,,,, I ll pass this one...

82db sensitivity. Horrible.

quick question before price changes: do you guys think these speakers are at least as good as the ones which come with onkyos 7409 htib?

i like the form factor of these more and would go for a onkyo 609 with these instead of the 7409.

edit: i am also open for suggestions for other receivers which would let me stay close to 300 bucks total.

It sucks you just missed the Yamaha RX-V373 for $177. Keep your eyes open and it will drop back to the $188 Range. That's a solid plain Jane 5.1. Paired with these speakers it would make a really good low cost setup. It's actually what I'm running in my game room. If you want networking onkyo is running some good deals now.

The 373 is still available for 177 at frys. I just that you, at least on paper, get so much receiver with the 609, including the networking you mentioned which i kinda want. but than there are all the hdmi issues which seem scary. I just can't decide.

But you're are agreeing these speakers are all-right for a normal room and a normal, non audiophile person?

I was in the same boat as you and went with the Yamaha 373. The low end onkyo just have too many issues, the hdmi being the biggest. The Yamaha is the best bang for the buck. It is headache free. These speakers are great in my game room. It's an 18x22 size room and it fills it with nice clean sound. The sub does the job, I run it at 50%. The nice thing is when running these speakers with the 373 the self audio calibration does its job perfectly.

So happy to find this deal. I'll share it with my friends.

Thanks for your input. Ill guess ill order the speakers and try to grab the RX-V671BL that my best buy has as an open box for 210. If not ill get the 373 from frys.

Frys has it for same price http://www.frys.com/product/6156079
