So I have been in my current house for 18 years now and ever since I moved in I have been talking about actually setting up a surround sound system in the basement. I figure 18 years is long enough to wait!
I am pretty much set on my main speakers, so what I am looking for is the following:
(1x) Center
(2x) Rear surrounds
(1x) Sub
I actually have a set of KLH(?) surround speakers (without the sub) that are something like 20 years old but I paid about $50 for the whole set and I have a feeling I should be getting something a little better than that.
I would like to keep this under $500 if possible. I can wiggle a little, but I am sort of cheap by nature. I was looking at the Monoprice stuff which seems to get decent reviews. I wouldn't need two of the speakers that come with their package but I'm sure I could find a use for them elsewhere.
Any suggestions of brands I should be looking at? I love the looks of the SVS stuff but it is probably out of my price range.
