I am ready to fill out my home theater set up and am hoping for a few expert opinion's on three components.
My current setup consists of Polk Monitor 70ii tower speakers and a Sony STR-DH800 - I am not looking to replace either of these yet.
The system will surround a 15' x 10' area of a 40' x 15' room; I will likely be moving within the next year, but would still expect the room to be small.
Based on a small amount of research, I have come up with a few guesses for component choices. I would hope to spend no more than $1,500 on all three components. I do have a small concern about availability of products, being that I am in Canada and therefore shipping could be expensive.
1. Bookshelf surrounds - $ up to $700
Polk Audio RTi A3's - based on being on sale frequently and readily available in my area
B&W 685 - based on postive reviews, but on the high side of the budget
Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 - based on positive reviews, not sure how easy to get a hold of
2. Subwoofer - $ up to $400
Polk Audio PSW505 - based on price and availability in my area
BIC H100 - based on reviews
BIC F12 - based on price and reviews
3. Centre - $ up to $400
Polk Audio CS2 - based loosely on reviews
I am not partial to any brand - I am only have on Polk's as they are sold at a big box store locally. I am truly open to any suggestions.
Thanks for any help!
