edit: If anyone is wondering, 89" fixed screen. Picture doesn't really do it justice.

I absolutely love it. Could not be happier. Feel free to ask any questions.

If you're going to use it primarily for music, why not just go for a stereo system? If you do it right, you'll likely get much better quality for the same price.

Also, what are your requirements for media playback? Do you need to get a BD or DVD player for the room, or do you have a method of media playback?

If you don't need a playback device but still want surround, this with this will put you in roughly the same budget, but will be orders of magnitude better in terms of sound quality, even without a subwoofer. Yes they're large (I'm kinda assuming that you have space for floorstanding speakers), but you need to be able to move a lot of air to be loud, and at this budget you need big speakers to do that.

If you don't have a playback device or don't have much space to work with, tehsalt's suggestion is probably your best bet.

edit: phrasing.

So for around $400 bucks you are rocking...I recommend a powered sub as well but those get a little pricey.

Ive got the same setup with a Polk sub.

1000 bucks?

enjoy your mediocre living room 5.1 setup.

For the sake of being helpful, get 2 pairs of BS22's (200 bucks tops), 1 C22 (100 bucks ish), a klipsch rw12d (400 bucks) or even a bic F12 (250 bucks), and some reciever like the denon 1613 (350). You're already over your budget. Get a dayton sub1200, and now you've somehow managed to fit this system in.

Theres also a jamo 5.0 system that you can pair with a decent sub and an entry level reciever.

But what about your couch, tv/projector, other chairs, sound damping, etc?

Thats about as cheap as i can manage.

Honestly dude? go to craigslist and buy some other guy's bullshit. People put their multi-thousand dollar setups on there for around that price anyways, and you'll probably end up with something that sounds pretty fuckin good if you go used for 1000.
