Overkill for a home theater system. Those speakers are for audiophiles, they are made for music.. loud music. For home theater use, you will never hear the details they are capable of.

Save yourself a boatload of cash and get something like this which will be equal to Olufsens in terms of home theater use for a fraction of the price.

Pair of these.

Outlaw Audio LFM-1 EX Powered Subwoofer


That 2.1 system I listed above will be more then enough to blow your house down during movies... I shit you not.

[Mr I]

Great advice thank you, I knew you were up on this stuff

[Bouncer]

Iv'e been using a 2.1 system for years. Meaning just 2 speakers and a subwoofer. I hate the look of multiple speakers all over the place. A good 2.1 system is better then any "out of the box" 5.1 or 7.1 home theater system.

I have polk audio speakers and a sub. Total including the receiver to power it all was like $1200. When turned up loud the house literally shakes. Actually can't turn it up all the way, blow your ears out.

The absolute best series to test out your new sound system.. The power of the robots through good speakers and a sub is fucken epic.

Does the quality of thr tv that originates the sound make a big difference?

Your sound does not come from the tv.

Cable/Sat/Blu-Ray player connects to a receiver. Speakers Plug into receiver.

You will need a receiver to power quality speakers and sub.

My current receiver. AVR 1610 | 425-watt, 5.1-channel, Roku Ready, networked A/V receiver with Bluetooth and GreenEdge technology | Harman Kardon US

Let me get this straight, I need;

Two speakers - presumably these flank the TV or on the wall
A subwoofer
A reciever

Are all the ones you suggested wireless, hate all that shit.
Also, you sure I don't need central speaker?
Have to say this already sounds very cluttered, why dont they build speakers with sub woofers in them, recievers built into tvs Fucks sake

Do you think those Olufsens you were looking at above can be "plugged into a tv"? Do you think they are "wireless"?

Quality speakers like that are big and heavy, they are floor standing speakers that require lots of power. You will never find a speaker of that quality wireless. The receiver is the "engine" for those speakers.

No, central speaker not required IF you have a quality 2.1 setup.

I gave you my suggestion based on what you were looking at. If you want suggestions for something smaller and less cluttered let me know. Just realize "smaller and less cluttered" will not come close to Olufsens or Boston Acoustics floor standing speakers in terms of power and clarity.

To answer to the question of incorporating the sub with the speakers, yes it can be and is done. But no quality sound system will ever be done that way. The low frequency of the sub can cause issues with other frequencies. Hence the reason the sub is often located in what may appear to be a random spot. The low frequency of bass is not directional like the high and midrange frequencies that need to be in specific locations to propagate sound properly.

Same sort of thing goes for "putting a receiver in a tv". Bit like putting a generator inside an iPad. :retard:

With questions and comments like this you really have no business looking at audiophile level speakers like Olufsens. Better off just going down to the local electronic store and buying the first $200 home theater in a box you can find..

[Mr I]

Here's what im looking at after your advice but considering what I can get;

Reciever - Marantz 1504 349quid
Speakers - Bowers and Wilkins M-1 150quid each
Sub - REL T-Zero 299 quid

[Mr I]

In terms of reciever inputs; TV, Tevo box, PS 4 Blue Ray
