What speakers should I buy for my home theater?

What are the best $150 bookshelf speakers I can buy for Home Theater (not music)?

  • I am looking for the best home theater speakers for $150 or less. Strictly Home Theater. My den is smaller, maybe medium, not large. Not a dorm room though. A "normal" ...show more

  • Answer:

    I would rank them in this order: the Infinity speakers first, the Pioneer speakers second, the Polk speakers third. Infinity Primus P153, $150/pair free shipping, http://www.ebay.com/itm/370680840649 Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-BS22-LR (these should appear as $90/pair in the cart), http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3381565 Polk Audio New Monitor 35B (these should go on sale, regularly, for $120/pair; you may need to wait a week for the next sale price to appear), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290268 I think the Pioneer speakers are about as good as the Infinity Primus, though I think the 4" driver may reduce dynamics to some extent. (The sensitivity is improved, compared to the SP-BS21-LR, but still only 85dB.) If the similarly-constructed Monitor 30's are an indication, the Polk Monitor 35B's probably play loudly well, but are also skewed toward being excessively bright (characteristics common to speakers that have been tweaked to sound more exciting in appliance store demos).

Doesn't quite make the $150 limit but for $159 these will give you $300/pr quality. Catch is you have to assemble the kit. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-640 If you don't mind a little more work you can stay under $150... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-706 If you don't mind used go on e-bay and search "Minimus 7". You can usually get these pretty cheap, I found a pair in good condition recently, I think I paid around $70/pr. These are smaller however and would be better suited if you also had a subwoofer. mk
