SVS Speakers or Something Else? Absolutely Newbie.



I’m looking for 7.1 speakers for my home theatre and budget is $2000. Since I know very little about speakers, receiver, etc. I went to seek help.

 

http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/need-help-on-speaker-and-receiver-selection-absolutely-newbie.105480/#post-1159207

 

People suggested SVS Prime bookshelf speaker (I asked for bookshelf since wife does not like those big ones), SVS Prime satellite speakers SVS Prime center speakers and Hsu research VTF-2 MK5 subwoofer.

 

Then I saw a post of SVS and Their Marketing Practices at Head-Fi forum:

Is SVS a brand I can trust or shall I start looking for something else?

 

Thanks.

gdnrbob, cedargrover, jafant and coli: Vandy is too expensive to me. Maybe I should try Elac. They got some interesting products. I'm considering Denon receiver. Don’t have time for speaker stands so I’ll buy some.

biglou13: the issue is I’m newbie and don’t know which one sounds good.
tls49: thanks for reminding. After some research I realized the same thing and I got some Belden 1694A RG6 cables for RCA connection to the subwoofer. Don't think I can go wrong with that cable - the feel is very solid, much better than the cheap RG6 available at some local store.
