Yes:
$200 RS-25 rear
$300 RB-15 front
$280 RC-25 center
$350 Boston Sub
$400 Denon Amp

$1,430.00


I could be wrong, but I think the rear and front come with both left and right. The cost should be correct.

Make sure your mid range speaker in the front and center speaker is the same diameter.

Oh really? It comes with both eh? I'll have to have a look. I'll also look into the diameter thing you're talking about (I don't know why they need to be the same diameter..)

I'll also have to look at some reviews for that DENON AVR-1905 Receiver. I've never really heard of denon . Is it any good? Can you recommend it for these speakers or will they just downgrade the quality of the speakers (or is it overkill for these speakers?)

Thanks everyone. I'll have to go to stores and compare what I hear .. etc. I have my eyes on this one. Although I'm not getting a new speaker system until I get a new TV.... but that's a different story .

Once again, thanks for your help.

The best is you buy a screen and a video beamer and then use the Dolby system when watching movies. For everything else you can just use a regular TV. A little more pricey though, but a lot of fun to have your own home cinema. I use the screen for DVD watching, for F1 races and Football games. For everything else I use my plasma TV.

Plasma? Jeez man. I heard plasma sucks becuase you have to buy one every 3-5 years (they die out easily). Pretty nice though .

Nah, I'm not that much of a movies guy I'll just buy an LCD HDTV.

Well, if you watch 8 hours every day it lasts 10 years. LCD is about double the time.

In regards to the Denon Amp, it is a much higher quality than what you would typically find. Dennon uses a highter amperage amp an lower wattage than most manufactures. This will give you a much clearer representation than a super high wattage amp with lower amperages. The Klipsch speakers, are a much better quality speaker than the Denon can handle. You wont have any problem with the Amp and speeker combo. The oposite is true on overkill, the speekers are great!!!!!!. The quality will blow you away.

The same diameter mid-range woofer all-around creates a better represenation of sound. A sound wave produced on a 4" speaker produces a wave pattern smaller than one at 8". Even though they are producing the same sound, their can be cancelization of music at certain frequencies. When the parabolic curve of the 4" and 8" intercect, you cancel. This is the same theory that Bose uses in their noise canceling head phones. When the speakers are all the same, you have the same size sound waves.

This might not be an exact audiophile explination, but I have put two different speaker combinations together and i have found the center chanel voices are washed out.
