Assembled home theater system (7.2) to complement TSi500 - polk

[assembled]

Hi,

Everyone I've never had a real home theater system before. But wanted to start off with an excellent one. I really need your help. I was looking at many forums and the suggestion was to buy speakers from a manufacturer and receivers from other manufacturer and never to buy a whole set from the same manufacturer.

I am trying to follow this suggestion and looked at some options but got totally confused. So far after going through many forums, I've decided upon only a single tower speaker [Polk Audio Tower Speaker (TSi500)].

Can some one suggest me what complements this tower speaker? I need receiver suggestions and other speaker suggestions. I want a set up like 7.2 home theater system.

I am fine with your suggestions other than TSI500 too. I just want a 7.2 home theater system, but as mane forums suggested I wanted to buy assembled system instead of buying from the same manufacturer. Please help.

I am fine to move to 5.2 instad of 7.2, as my friends suggested with 5.2 I can get better quality speakers fot the same cost of 7.2

hello

i think newegg is offering deep discounts on polk audio speakers.

my suggestion is to go to polk RTiA series ans this is latest to TSiA series.

Go for jbl es250r sub150p and you can find them cheap on amazon.com

See the series mentioned.

I'm not an expert ,based on my little knowledge & experience..i'll share u something..
HT system steup depends upon ur budget and room size definetly..
If ur having extended budget Try Harman Kardon or Marantz or Denon as AVR ..
Speakers as KEF or Polk audio..
Before buying u should have a demo definetly ..beacuse it depends upon ur hearing taste ..and features requirement..

Hey guys so I listened to Klipsch - RF800B and it was really good. One speaker is sold for $500 CDN, do you think it is a good deal? But with my budget of $1500, I can only get one of these, is it worth to buy RF800B? If I buy one how can I complete my system. I am not sure.

I was planning to go all polk, if i am not buying Klipsch.
polk CSiA6 - $399
polk RTiA3 (pair) - $399
polk FXiA6 surround (pair) - $499

Is the above good? or should I just buy
polk CSiA6 - $399
2XKlipsch - RF800B - 2X$500
and may be after a year I can buy surrounds?

I am yet to decide on receivers and woofer. Hope you can help with this please.

So finally bought my speakers and I love it.
Front L and R - Klipsch RF 800B
Centre - RC 500 Klipsch
Pioneer VSX 1028 k receiver

I am yet to buy a sub, will do that soon.
I really like my speakers. But I am not sure if i chose the right receiver. I picked the receiver as I wanted to listen more to the speakers as soon as possible. I might change my receiver. I need your thought on the receiver. Is it worth for $500?

Good... Pioneer AVR 's are good enough,also it have more features in low price ranges ,but I don't know about the service support there at Canada..
If you are having idea of changing the AVR ,then go for Denon /Yamaha /Harmon Kardon /Marantz..
Regarding Sub ..go for min 100W or 150 Watts powered sub..
