Need Black Friday speaker help for hubby's Christmas present | Thread profile

I tried to call AV123 but their offices just closed. Anyway, I placed the order for the rocket series with 525 rear surrounds and the MFW 15 sub. I think I will try to get the Onkyo 805 soon. I'm sure to most of you it sounds crazy to buy this stuff after only a few days of research and without listening to any speakers but I trust the judgement of the posters here. Thanks very much to everyone for their time. I'm sure I'll be...

I got the ELT525M as my rears as well to complete my 7.1 system. Most preferred the Onkyo 805 over the Onkyo 806. There was a post in a different forum asking that question and most felt that the newer model (806) was actually a downgrade compare to the (805). Before taking that order from AV123, ask their Rep to see what the wait time on these Rockets. It is made and ship from overseas. There have been instances where it took longer than...

Out of those deals, the Rockets are the best deal. The RSC200 is a VERY well reviewed center and the 850 fronts are very well reviewed as well. The Ascends and the Aperions are have a large following on this forum as well. I would drop the KEFs from the comparison, they belong with the ELTs, and X-CSs and the lower priced Ascends. Bottom line is you will be very happy with any of the packages you just listed. The Aperions and the Rockets have...

If you dont mind buying internet direct check out the specials at av123.com or swan speakers from theaudioinsider or ozhometheater. Aperion, Ascend, Axiom are other good internet direct brands. For subwoofer you can look at SVS, Hsu, EPik or the MFW-15 from av123.

+1 on the Aperion...check out their website. Excellent speakers and and customer service. They are currently running holiday specials.

There is a smokin deal over at av123, 5 X-CS cherry speakers plus a marantz 5003 reciever for $1370, plus a MFW sub for another 599. Whole package there for under 2k. http://av123.com/component/page,shop...k,1/Itemid,37/

With the smokin' deals for BF I suggest you jump in now. With some of these deals you will be paying less than buying used on Ebay. AV123.com!

Whats the budget? For HT mostly but still good with music http://www.ascendacoustics.com/ has a sale. I would get 340se fronts and 200se surrounds. A Rythmik sub or get a Pb12nsd from Svs. Or look a the Svs speaker packages also. I thing Ascends sound better in the same price point but they are pretty close. The Rockets are a good deal but you didn't post you budget. Don't know how long the wait is or how long you can wait. But if...
