I was just curious who here is also a nuts for home theater systems? Post pics of your set up. With the upcomming winter I decided to redo my home theater systemits not the greatest stuff but done a budget it all sounds amazing. Currently I'm using my new 50in Plasma from LG, got a great deal on that from NFM. Also using a Harmon Kardon AVR 320 that hooked to SDAT floor speakers a JBL center channel, and a small set of kenwood surround speakers. To get that low bass I got a PBX 12.1 powered subwoofer. This system although put together cheaply sounds amazing compared to my old home theater in a box set up.

 

Samsung DLP 56'
Samsung 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers using HDMI
Xbox 360 Elite

 

got a 51" Sony SXRD LCoS with 7.1 Onkyo 1000 watt receiver, samsung upscaling DVD player, xbox 360, wii, mutlimedia PC hooked to tv via xbox or direct connect piping 4000+ songs to the onkyo....and a bunch of other puter set up stuff....

 

I really don't like any of the sound I've heard from the home theater in a box for music. For movies they sound fine to me (only heard Onkyo though) but I prefer 2 channel (2.1 since my speakers suck) for everyting else. Everyhting I have now is either a hand me down or I bought for real cheap. I am kicking my self for not buying a pair of Infinity SM155's for $200 when my roommate bought his bike.

 

Harmon Kardon pre amp/tuner, Harmon Kardon amps, Yamaha decks, ADC studio EQ, Infinity studio monitor speakers. This house freaking RUMBLES when I want it to!

WHAT WAS JUST ORDERED EARLIER TODAY..............



This, my HT nerdy friends, is the Klipsch RF-63 Home Theater System. I just ordered it today under employee accommodations through my work. It's a fire breathing, chest pounding BEAST of a system that is supposed to set me back a whopping $5,294. Let's just say my accommodation through Klipsch is MUCH better and I didn't pay more than $900 for the entire system. (The only thing worth working at Best Buy for........employee accommodations) [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Not only are you sending yourself blind, but your going to go deaf as well (and you probably end up with hair growing on the palm of your right hand)

 

I worked at Best Buy myself and their is no way in hell you are getting all that for $900. You can't even get 3 12inch powered Klispch subwoofers to $900 much less a $5000 + system. I hate to say it but i'm calling BS.

 

It's not the "employee discount" I talking about (where you would be correct in you calling BS on the $900 price), but it's a KLIPSCH ACCOMMODATION. You fill out an accommodation form FROM Klipsch TO Best Buy employees and fax it to Klipsch directly with a managers signature proving your employment. They will then send you a form either by fax or mail to choose what you want to purchase. The grand total of my purchase was $912 and Klipsch pays for shipping. You don't take product from the store, you have it sent to you from Klipsch directly (since it's Klipsch's accommodation to Best Buy) Best Buy has NOTHING to do with the accommodation pricing, it's a "gift" from Klipsch to BBY Employees. Not many employees know about it because it's rather hidden deep in the employee toolkit system.

If you still worked at Best Buy, you would find it under the ETK toolkit under the "Benefits and Accommodations" link, followed by a few more links to click on..........now, what is BS?
