Fluance makes a reference 5.1 system with floorstanders for left and right channels for $899. You can get a SVS SB 1000 pro and the maranta and be right under $2500. You could go budget and do a BIC f12 for your sub and a Denon s769h and be in at $1600. Take it a step further and do no sub since the towers have the 8in subs and you’d be at $1300. It has to be the best budget system

You guys are mind readers, I am about to move into a bigger apartment with really thick walls and I was looking on line for a affordable system and you gave me some really great options. Thank you. I am going with option 1. So happy!!!

@emersonsmith4862 2 года назад

Hey Andrew and Kristi, it’s Emerson who super asked about selling his current audio gear (Cayin EL35, and CXA81) to buy all Schiit gear, and you gave fantastic advice to never change things or upgrade unless you are not happy with something about it. Thank you so much for the advice. I decided to keep my tube amp, and sell my CXA81, which (while an absolutely beautifully functioning unit with plenty inputs and outputs. A fine DAC, Preamp, and A/B amplification [efficient speakers in a small room likely never leave class a]) is a very clear sign that I’ve caught the affliction and an integrated amp doesn’t afford me the opportunity to enjoy everything about my Audio/Video hobby. I sold my Schiit Bifrost Uber DAC plus some other unused stuff around my house and have ordered a used Schiit Gugnir DAC. As soon as I shipped it I realized my system doesn’t sound acceptable and I broke your rule because I loved that DAC. But guess what, I traded my unused and like new RF-82 II pair and my R-12SW (I paid $800 + tax for everything)…. I traded it for like new Heresy III’s. I now have a Schiit Freya +, Gugnir Multibit, looking for one or two Aegirs, or looking to trade my integrated tube amp for a tube power amp. Home theatre is Denon x-2700h plus 5.1 Klipsch rp, 600, 6000 and 504 and spl100.

@jayebzzz338 Год назад

Andrew I’ve been watching your channel non stop for a month. Love your knowledge and delivery. I’m getting a NR1711 delivered next week based on your review. Ever since HK has gone downhill I’ve played around with Onkyo and Pioneer but nothing has the sound of the old HK amps. I’m hoping the Marantz will offer the same sound quality and years of service the 80s HK receivers had. My mains are JBL Northridge ND310II’s. I’m really hoping they match well as I love the speakers themselves. Hats off to your channel for no nonsense down to earth content!👍👍

@SergioHernandez-le8wp 2 года назад

Don't know why, but I love when you guys put together these systems. It's like an "audiophile hack"

@stevenshelp1107 2 года назад

I think these are perfect examples for people that do appreciate better sound than the cheap pre-built all in one systems/simple soundbars, that want to try their hand at a decent first time quality home theater. Not going to destroy your savings purchasing all the components, and gets you 75-80 percent there to top of the line sound

@ripjones5294 2 года назад

I thoroughly enjoyed this system packages. For my "streamer" I have had really good results with the Amazon Fire TV Cube. My house is not part of the Apple Ecosystem, being Android focused, and I like the fact that the Cube (NOT a Stick), also gives me power and volume control of my Bose sound system. One of these days, it will die, but I just can't talk myself into chucking my LG Plasma. I know..... The TV Cube provides the IR transmitter to sync up all of the remotes. Right this minute, I think I am leaning towards the JBL package. Some of the tower drivers look similar to the L-100's that I used to sell @ Franklin Music in Atlanta, back when the Earth was still cooling, in the late '70's. Yes, I'm old.

@ignaciosanmateoarenal2588 2 года назад

I have had a 5.1 system for more than twenty years. At first with a Marantz amplifier and some Jamo speakers. Then I replaced the amplifier with a Yamaha one, 4K stuff, and the center speaker with a more powerful Indiana Line. The Jamo continue to give me good service and it is curious to see that both these and Marantz continue to be recommended. Good things last.

I bought a jamo 809s 3.2 for my garage setup. The sound is nice and the bass is great in my cement block garage. The price was way cheaper then expected. Bought them after watching your video on them. I had a budget of 1000$ for the garage sound system and boy am I happy after watching your video on them. I know added a Uturn turntable after watching your review on them as well. Best of all worlds for under 1600$

@joepelletier5381 2 года назад

I give it a tie between the cheaper Jamos and the Fluance. These are exactly the type of systems I see getting people hooked. Small, cheap, attractive, knock the socks off of most soundbars/surround in a box. Pair these new beautiful speakers with a used reciever you plan to hide away and it's amazing what you can do for around 1000 bucks.

@josephramos7979 2 года назад

Damn! Kristi's call on the Fluance system is IT! While I have the Jamo system (thanks to Andrew's previous review) purchased super cheap on Amazon earlier in the year I think for my son's set up with his limited budget I'm going to suggest Kristi's system. I think he'll be very happy.

I had a decent budget so went with my existing AppleTV4k and added the Onkyo 6100 + the Q Acoustics 3050i bundle (3050i x 2 / 3010i x2 / 3090ci / QB12 ) - its obv over 2500 but I also wanted something that sounded neutral for music but also looked good in my living room (their walnut finish is beautiful). I love it, just two nights ago my daughters were squealing in excitement watching the Phantom Menace (esp. the pod racing part) and actually said how much they enjoyed the surround sound in that part. Its all a dad wants! Star Wars night with the daughters in style!

@Barleyleg 2 года назад

Awww…this video is a week too late for me. My starting budget was $2500(ish). Went with Onkyo 6100; Polk Sig Elite Series: es50, es10, es35; Klipsch r10swi; 100’ wire and plugs - all just right about at that mark. Just waiting on the center to come tomorrow, but so far so good on the rest. This replaced the Sony 7000 trifecta that conked out after 2 weeks - and for $500 less than that debacle. It can be done, friends! Thanks for the video!

@edwinrijos6679 Год назад

love all your choices, I have to go with Andrew on this one. I would like to add my set up for under 2500. All Klipsch speakers RP-280Fs R,L channels($600) for the pair RP-450C or 504C center channel for ($299) RP-160M for surrounds $(239) for the pair Sony str-dh790 7.2 channel receiver for ($349) Get 2 Klipsch R-12SW subwoofer ($199x2)=$398 Total ($1,885). Now if you want to get fancy get the Emotiva BasX3 amplifier for the front stage ($499). Get 2 Russound ADP-1.2 Speaker-level to Line-level Adapter ($39.99X2)=79.98 brings the Total to ($2,463).

@adamp4052 2 года назад

I love this video. I would also love to see the same thing for 2 channel systems. Maybe a pair of speakers, receiver, and turntable for under $2500? What are your thoughts on finding some vintage pieces as a part of a system like that? That would be a super interesting video!

@GregWalrath 2 года назад

They are ALL great systems and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I went with the Jamo components after listening to Andrew's video on those speakers a few months back (pre-move). I wasn't thrilled with the Jamo center channel (neither were Andrew and Kristi), plus I ended up getting a BDI cabinet for CHEAP on FB marketplace, and the Jamo wouldn't fit the drawer, but I ended up with a JBL center with Jamo S807's in the front with the Atmos speakers, S803's in the back with the Jamo C sub, all on sale or clearance somewhere, all run through the Pioneer VSX-LX305. Very happy with the system.

@akaydogan 2 года назад

You both picked components from manufacturers I have thoroughly enjoyed (or still enjoy). My fist home theater with a projector had Jamo towers, center and surround speakers powered by a Denon AVR. I have small Klipsch system with a Polk subwoofer and a Denon AVR. My current main system with Sony 65" OLED is powered by an Onkyo AVR and is all JBL (the surrounds and the center are modern JBL, the mains are vintage JBL L200b's - no subwoofer needed). I think you both chose great systems are several attractive price points. I think Andrew won this round, especially with the two Jamo systems and the JBL Stage systems, it was really close. This was another entertaining and useful video.

@2kdesignstudios72 2 года назад

I like this video alot. I will say that I prefer the Klipsch system because it has the cleanest upgrade path to 5.4.2 Atmos. I could see a user upgrading to another SSP in the future, adding a second pair of Klipsch 600 mII's for surround and two more in ceilings for the 4 height channels. All of which could be done incrementally.

@winksmt01 10 месяцев назад

@totalplonker824 10 месяцев назад

Rather going with seven base speakers I went with five and two overhead! Normally wouldn't recommend it, but for the fact where both in small rooms. Not only more separation between speakers.. the room acoustics sound better also. Ever thought of experimenting and giving it a try.

@carlkidd752 2 года назад

I went with Denon X2700H $1100, open box JAMO S809 5.0 $415, and eventually the sub and .2 speakers were in stock $420. So my system was a bit over yours at $2000. Like the look of the tower speakers with the .2 on top of them. From any distance, I cannot tell they are vinyl wrapped versus wood. The sound upgrade over my S510BT Denon and speakers (5.1) is noticeable without tools as well.

@jeffberg8015 Год назад

This listing comes at a good time for me. I retired last year, liquidated most of my property, and after spending the winter in Costa Rica I am looking to buy a small retirement home this year which of course will involve getting a new home theater/music set up. Being a retiree, of course I want it as reasonably priced as possible, but WiFi and Atmos compatibility were musts for me. I had been leaning toward a Klipsch surround set up with the Atmos towers and a Denon AVR-X2700H. Of course that can change depending on the logistics of my future living room. In fact, I might decide to skip the rear surrounds if they would be too awkward and go with a 3.1.2 setup instead. Anyway, this video has given me plenty of food for thought, and any criticism of my choices is welcome. Thanks.

@andersj91 Год назад

Surround speakers are easier and more immersive than height speakers imo. Height speakers can be done right *if* actually done right if in-ceiling and room corrected, but surrounds are better bag for the buck. But the average retiree whose ear maybe can't do the same level of critical listening would likely benefit the most from more speakers in more positions than fewer, more expensive speakers. Just my .02.

@mindblockandroid 2 года назад

Awesome! You answered my exact question, about pairing the jamo hcs with the 790! I guess it could support a couple of s801s for the height speakers for a killer atmos setup!

@justindavis3387 2 года назад

Love it!! I have the jamo s807 package with the Atmos speakers and sub with the Sony str DH 790. I got this set up shortly after watching your video that recommended it and I love it! I was lucky too, I got the two double driver towers, Atmos speakers, two bookshelf, two subs and a Yamaha amplifier off eBay for £900 oh and they guy gave me £300 worth of speaker cable and HDMI. I sold the amp (as I prefer Sony's sound) for £280 so all in cost me £620 so you can imagine my cost to performance is amazing!!!

@alexorigoni8626 2 года назад

Hi Kristi and Andrew, I realize this is a bit off topic, but I need some help and thought other viewers might like some input on the same general topic, multi zone. It looks like I’ve made a mistake. I have a McIntosh MX 123 AV preprocessor which has 3 zones available for audio output. I use zone 1 for my living room, zone 2 for my lounge, and split the zone 3 output to 2 different pairs of outdoor speakers. Zones 1 & 2 are powered by McIntosh amps, but in order to have Wi-Fi and app based control over the outdoor speakers, I was advised to purchase 2 Sonos power amps. The intention was to have the ability to have a continuous, multi zone signal (music) as you walked throughout the house and back yard. Unfortunately, even though I’m running a direct analog signal through RCA to the Sonos amps, they have a really long processing delay. There appears to be no way around this issue that I’ve been able to find, so it seems I’ll have to find a different equipment option. What would you recommend for power amps that will pass through the analog signal without delay, and allow me app based control over the 2 different sets of zone 3 speakers independently for on/off and volume control? thanks in advance!

@franciscoortiz6980 2 года назад

Great video ... it is awesome that both you and your wife share the audio/video hobby. I support any of the 7 systems you put together. The Q-acoustics are great speakers... the sub for them poses a quandry. Get the underpowered Q3060 sub for $550 or the bigger Q B12 for $800 that match visually but are not the best bang for buck IMO. I personally say... slightly mis-matched looking wise... SVS PB1000 is an awesome HT sub for $500.

@TheFrugalAudiophile 2 года назад

I have about $2500 invested in my 5.1 setup. I have a Denon AVRX3400, Emotiva A-700 amp, Aperion 5T towers, 5C center, 5B bookshelves, and two SVS SB12 NSD subs. I got sone incredible deals on all the gear and it was a couple of years ago. Considering what I have invested I think it sounds amazing! Also, I think all of these are great setups so its hard to pick a winner. I’m not a huge fan of Klipsch so that’s a knock against Kristi, but I know a lot of ppl like them. Jarmo has a similar sound, but you just can’t beat their price!

I really enjoyed this video as I was doing some work around the house. I got a chuckle out of the back and forth near the end. For protecting ego purposes, I'll give the win to Andrew. 🙂One thought I did have though is for those considering the Sony STR-DH790 may want to also consider the Yamaha RX-V6A/TSR-700 especially if they would like phono input. With the new boards and firmware updates...I've been pretty pleased with my TSR-700 although it's understood there are caveats for some 8K video gamers out there. Either way, nobody can go wrong following your suggestions.

@Santoshlv426 2 года назад

Andrew, you bring up a point I'd like exlored further if practical. How would the best $2500 sound bar compare with any of these 7 recommended systems and if these systems outperform, why ie. in what area ? Bass, sound-staging, accuracy, tonality, transparency ? Take the space considerations out of the equation. I'd like to know if a perfectly set up separate system will beat a soundbar. Kind of like the 90's debate of those all in one mini hifi's could outperform a 80's style all separate stereo system. Thanks for a good video !

@kingkobra1956 Год назад

Your choices were great and a excellent video as always. I was thinking about putting a system together eventually when I purchased a Marantz AVR 7705, but I just want a 2 channel system for now so I'm using a Emotiva BasXA2, SVS SB3000, and a pair of Polk RTiA9s. I also have the Bose 900, dual 700 modules, and the 700 omnis. I live in an apartment and I have gotten into trouble using both systems so I have to keep them on the down low. I want a full system but what would be the point when you can't enjoy them the way you want. I don't blast but at least be able to cut loose sometimes and let er rip, but you have to be considerate of your neighbors. Enjoyed the video and your wife was insightful as always. You two are a great team.

For my HT system... after your initial review from a long time ago, I bought the Jamo S803 and matching Center and for sub use a Polk Audio PSW10 with my older Marantz NR1604 and am super happy with it. Added some super cheap ($60/pair) DIY surrounds for fun and love it all. One day I'll add a DIRAC receiver and be done.

@andrewrobinsonreviews 2 года назад

I bet it sounds awesome! That system WITH A SUB is pretty remarkable considering it's SO CHEAP!

Onkyo 7100 and the SVS Prime Satellites with SB 1000 pro package, 5 identical speakers and a great sub, along with Dirac Live. At under $2700 get the Prime Center to replace the Prime Satellite

@adamjj85 2 года назад

I think the Kanto system might come out on top with the SB1000 Pro and Onkyo with Dirac!

@DC_loves_scotch 2 года назад

I know you haven’t reviewed here but Polk signature elite speakers sound great. 5.1 with Marantz will cost under $2500 too. Many options to choose from for those new to the hobby. Great video . Thanks

@kylefischer7881 2 года назад

I have the Jamo S 803 HCS system and it is great. Now, I use S807 towers instead of the 803s (they are in a 2 channel setup) and no sub, but it is plenty for our everyday living room system. Powered by Onkyo RZ820. I would concur with Andrew to keep the volume down a touch. I don’t go over -10db because the center doesn’t quite keep up.

@jhiss100 2 года назад

Super fun video! Really thinking about doing a system to replace my Klipsch soundbar. Just can never seem to get the right balance between dialogue and music/sounds with the soundbar.

@SafwanBN 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew and Kristi! Planning to set up a home theatre within this next year or so as I'm moving to a new place in the next couple of months. I know you mostly do product reviews and not so much how-to guides, but would you be able to share the different ways (I'm assuming there are different ways!) one can hook up a 5.1/5.2 home theatre system while still being able to hook up the front speakers (+subs?) to the typical hifi setup such as streamer+dac+amp? These would be for when I just want to listen to some music in the best quality possible.

@theendofit 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video. I hate trying to find advice online for speakers. If you go onto any forum or redit page for speakers the people on them are toxic and useless. They act as if anything under $2k is no better then dollar store pc speakers. They will often refuse to give recommendations like this video. And they attack any brand that makes cheaper speakers like these. I really wish there was a website i could go to to list off what i had found and was thinking and id get usefull advice not just "nah thats all trash get these $8k speakers instead" And cant trust anyone that gets a commission cause they to will just push what gets them the higher cut or push the brand they own.

@sliqu7946 Год назад

Christie’s Klipch setup is the winner!!!!!!!!!

@jackkinman1962 5 месяцев назад

Sorry but the fluance system she mentioned was absolutely great. I’d personally get 2 Jamo subs with that system... but my system is way above the cost of anything of these. But there’s are fantastic

@erickessler6094 2 года назад

Haha! Fun Review! Bonus Kristi! But I'm going with Onkyo - Kanto 🤪 Kudos for links! Cheers, Eric

I would really like to see Dali reviewed, not only in entry level but also higher end. I started out with the Jamo long ago as well and really tend towards danish brands somehow from the sound. Thanks for your videos 🙂

@brianlewis5042 2 года назад

This was fun. Kristi came out of left field with the Fluance system and gave you a little “chin check”. Kinda woke you up Andrew. You have shown how with some creativity and time, one can have a good 5.1 system. So based on creativity, you have give this one to Kristi. Her Fluance system will get someone new into home theater and they buy a budget TV for a complete system.

@KristiWright 2 года назад

My systems were really hard to come up with since Andrew had already taken some of the best ones! The Fluance is super underrated!

@joseloya1274 2 года назад

Thanks for this video. I think that Kristi’s system recommendations are the best choices and that’s where I would put my money 😀.

@andrewrobinsonreviews 2 года назад

✅ Another vote for Kristi!

@xuxon24 2 года назад

I would love to see a good follow-up bide talking about good atmos options to complement this setups. Kristi mentioned the in cealing klipsh would be cool to see a wall downward firing and a rebound option as well. I always wonder as a noob in this Hobbie when do you need an amp, Andrew mentioned an amp and I always wonder if the receiver is capable of handling the speakers. Loved the video and the detailed description is always the best great job you both.

@outbackwack368 2 года назад

Man, I wish I only spent $2500. When I bought my first system my local store had 6 rooms set up with increasing quality and performance. My rep (John) said most people can't hear the difference past the 3rd room. I heard everything all the way up to and beyond the 6th room. My wife couldn't pass room 1. Consequently, I wound up spending $15k over the next 2 years and my wife still won't forgive me, and still have most of that system from 15 years ago (Parasound, Rotel, Yamaha, SVS, Paradigm, Amphion, Oppo LG OLED). Thanks!

@cliftonfriese18 Год назад

The only speakers on these lists that I have heard was Fluance. I loves the open sound for the price. But I would maybe go with an Elac system. Good video.

@Junkyard-xd9yg Месяц назад

Andrew, love your vides. Can you please make a video of a home theater that consists of decent fronts, nice av receiver and good rear speakers where couch is touching the rear wall?

@NazSef Год назад

Hello Andrew I LOVE your channel. You are incredibly well spoken and your presentation is always top notch. I would like to request, if possible, to review the RSL Home Theater system. I would value hearing your thoughts on it. Best Wishes.

@m4nc1n1 Год назад

Almost all big-budget movies today are either mixed in 7.1 or Atmos, so if you can swing it I highly recommend going 7.1 minimum or Atmos.

@cawilliams188 2 года назад

I say its a tie you both have some great ideas.Funny you mention Fluance. I have a pair of Elite Bipole in my cart to replace my Polk T15 rear surrounds. Also need a new Atmos receiver and I was going to add Sony SSCSE for Atmos capability. The dream setup would be Polk Reserve series but in all honesty a Jamo S Series Atmos with Marantz receiver and a LG 86" Nanocell setup would be perfect enough for under $5k

@ACDGibson 2 года назад

In order to get my foot through the door of the hifi world, I snatched an used Str 790 mentioned on facebook marketplace for 150£. Then I slowly build a 5.1 home theater with q acoustics speakers but with 3030i being on the front. To top it off - svs sb1000 pro and were cookin' baby 😂 Even though it's a cheaper av receiver it can rock your world with added sub :)
