Not sure if you made your decision or purchase yet but these popped up for the shellshocker today on Newegg.

I haven't heard them personally but for that size of tower speaker and those specs and with all the great reviews, I would jump on it. I almost want to buy them just to hear them.

I just hooked up the receiver. No speakers yet. I cant figure out how to pass through the audio to the tv.

Its essentially a glorified hdmi switch right now but its not giving me any sound. Im trying to use the tv speakers for now. Any help?

Edit: after like 20 mins i was able to figure it out. Aggrevating. Lol

I just hope these deals last until Friday. Because that's when Im going to pull the trigger on these.
 
I would be upset if on Friday the 60% off sale ended. lol. Any way to lock it in with Newegg?

If shipping wasn't so much, I would build you a subwoofer for the cost of materials, labor free that would make those Klipsh/polk/sony/ bestbuy shoe boxes look and sound like a joke.
 

 
Sure it is the size of a small refrigerator, I have some new drywall cracks and my neighbors 2 acres away think that the military base is bombing but hey, go big or go home!

Lol I don't think he wants to get kicked out of his apartment - which his current anticipated build could easily do anyway!!   I 110% agree - it's no different than car audio...  If you have the means to build your own enclosure to the specs of your chosen driver the SPL and SQ are exponentially better than anything pre-fab.  I can't count the number of enclosures I have built over the years.  I considered building my own for the house but don't have the time or space for it right now.  Plus by the time I bought something to power it the cost wasn't worth it.  Now if I ever buy a house where I can have a more dedicated theater room it will be higher up on the priority list.    At this point the OP is probably like - how the hell did I let them talk me out of that HTIB??? LMAO

For me best speakers... and I like them and think about them last several months are Pioneer 5.1 system from their site.
/snip

The wife and I actually demoed those AJ Pioneer speakers next to my current Polks and there was no comparison.  Problem here in my opinion is that you're comparing completely different classes of speakers.  The Pioneer speakers at $550 (MSRP) do beat out other comparatively priced speakers - I will give you that.  Problem here is that they don't often go on a big sale.  The SP-FS52 list for $130/ea and the Polk monitor series 60 towers list for $300/ea.  So basically you're going up a tier or two for the exact same price - it's like getting a Chevy Malibu for the same price of a Sonic.  Once that AJ set hits $300 then it's a deal.  And as far as their receivers go - I have never been impressed with any of their non "Elite" receivers.  Besides now Onkyo owns Pioneer's home division anyway...

 My wife has had to remind me multiple times that "this is a living room, not a home theater" 

When living in a small space, whats the difference?
 
My speaker set up will shake the entire place Im sure. But I rent a condo. The units around me are other apartments/condos. I might get kicked out, but I doubt it. lol.
 
Again, I just want the sale to last until Friday. Otherwise I would have to wait for another sale and I already have my heart set on those speakers.

Between the two, the Polk, by far. I always Lul when I see the name "Jamo" I think of a plain brown box with the name "Beerz" with some generic Pabst Blue ribbon knock off beers inside. Or one of those cheap plastic Bluetooth speakers with a Toonez" or "tunez" sticker on the side. The specs and the rep of the Polk is better. 
  

Oh, I thought the Jamo was the one made by Klipsch... I will have to find the link for that one and see.
 

Its also a $600 sub on sale for $188. It has to be decent, right? Right!? lol.

Ordered everything from newegg. It will arrive sometime next week when Ill be able to update with some pictures. Thanks for all of the suggestions! I think I got a pretty nice introductory system. Especially with everything nearing 50-60% off.
 
My current TV stand shelves are too small for the Receiver so I put the receiver on top where the center speaker was going to go. Im thinking about mounting the center speaker above the TV instead. Will it sound any different above or below the TV?

General rule of thumb is have your center at hear height (when seated) or at least aimed at ear height. You should be fine.

Is it 2 sets of Black and red posts/terminals? Usually the other set is for Bi-amping. I never bother because most of the time, the channels power from the receiver is more than adequate for what the speaker needs.

I don't think the connectors will matter if they are the ones I am thinking. Each receiver is a little different as far as volume goes. Just adjust it to what sounds good to you.

I found all of those settings and have that set up. I did everything except full band. Ill try that now.
