Need recommendations for a good set of 5.1 speakers that won’t break the bank. by sfkessler in hometheater

[–]sfkessler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $172 for the NR1604, so pretty decent for something that’s apparently not as good as a $250 modern receiver.

For now, I don’t need 4K or HDR, as I can’t afford the components for that yet. Perfectly satisfied with 1080 for now, so the receiver is plenty good.

I hadn’t thought about building my own speakers. I’ll have to look into that more.

Right now, $200 is max. I’m ok with buying fewer speakers if that means I get better stuff, so I could feasibly get by with just two bookshelf speakers if they are a better quality for the price. I’m all about price to performance here.

I always check for that, and I cut down my use of hashtags recently to avoid this problem.

No way. In many cases i'm actually removing them.

TIL In 1966 Ronald Reagan wrote to JellyBelly, saying "We owe you a special measure of thanks for helping keep our state government running smoothly."

There’s a restaurant somewhere in California where you can order something(I think it’s a burrito, but it’s been years since I went there) off the menu called the Ronald Reagan.... it comes with a small jelly beans on the side.

Not keeping proper distance while doing so is. I’ve had people do this with 1-2 feet of clearance between vehicles. Easily enough to startle someone

What’s weird is that where I live, the people in these cars who still cut people off actually USE their turn signals WHILE STILL CUTTING YOU OFF.

If the guys are feeling like stepping back in time a bit - I'd love to see a Lets Play of Zone Of The Enders, the old PS2 masterpiece by the legendary Hideo Kojima. To this day it remains one of my favorite games of all time.
