Let's stop messin' around, you know you want these ones:


RBH's are maufactured right up the road from me and I know Roger the owner. He designs some badass speakers, and these took best of show in the Consumer Electronics Show in Begas last year.

They cost a mint though!!

dont ever say you dont need a sub, GO GET ONE, biggest difference in my entire setup.

Sony DD/DTS Receiver 5x100w
JVC Bookshelf (next upgrade)
JBL Centre/Rear speaker set
Sony 150w powered 12" sub

any decent home theatre front speakers aren't designed to put out bass because most people have a sub that are into those cost levels. my sub was only like 250, and it was 250 well spent.

Get some decent full range floor standing speakers, no more then 8" speaker size. Save a little there and get a sub if u can.

A friend of mines spends THOUSANDS on his home theatre (integra components w/ energy speakers). He has a crappy 8" sub and my system outputs 5x the bass of his just because of a sub.

I was looking at those JBLs last night at circuit city last night. they sounded just as good as the bose. they were a floor speaker, 1 10" sub in each, with a mid and a tweeter. they sounded really good.

I already have a receiver/cd player/dvd player/even a vhs and a record player is hooked up.

im still searching. -im the kind of person when it comes to buying something that will be with me for a long time, i research it like no other, and then buy the best bang for the buck, not necessarly the most expensive, or the cheapest. thanks for the opinions though.

To make a bose sound like a bose you need to buy the whole package. I just finished installing a a Lifestyle 48 system........wholy crap what sound!!! Yes the speakers are small, but they only produce the higher frequencies, the real sound comes from the "Acoustimass module" (subwoofer to the rest of us). You need a proper room to set the system up in and the small speakers are not meant for direct sound, you point them at the wall so the sound "bounces" off the wall, more life like that way I guess. Anyways........you gotta be rich as ---- to buy the whole system, but with an RF remote, the ability to "add-on" rooms and the system stores all your music for you, you can't beat the Bose.

I got these before my BX credit card account I got in the air force was up. There not very big but they sound really nice and clear. Just some nice Cerwin Vegas powered by a Kenwood receiver. Nothing fancy just something I got from a local pawn shop for 100 bucks a couple of years ago. I'm not into the big floor speakers since I got these when I was living by myself and my apartment wasn't very big.
