What's the best option for my situation?

I want sound for sports/movies/music on my TV and Xbox. Not pc.

I want a system that I can conceal (so probably a 2.1 is best I'd imagine).
I don't want to spend too much. The further under $300 the better. In the 1-200 range even better.

Klipsch has a 2.1 for 149.
I know monoprice has a good set too.

Please direct me to the right purchase

I've asked a couple times but have not yet been satisfied with what I find deal wise

I'd rather get those than the klipsch pro media 2.1 tbh

Good price on the Swan M10, but might be a bit too small considering they will be used for sports/movies etc on TV and not on a desktop.


For a home cinema setup you might want to go for larger floor-standing speakers like this excellent pair (made by legendary designer Andrew Jones ) :

That's the older, discontinued pair so if you can find them either new or used anywhere for a good price, I don't think you can get much better value than that to be honest.

if you can't get hold of them, and absolutely have to stick hold to your budget, you could go for the smaller, bookshelf variant from Pioneer: ($125)

Still larger than a pair of satellites like the Klipsch/Swans which are more designed to sit on your desktop, than on either side of your TV.

You're going to need a receiver/amplifier. If you want to upgrade to 5.1 in the future you should buy a surround receiver, but if you are certain you'll only want a stereo receiver, you could get something like: ($170)

https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX8020-TX-8020-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B00EE18O7W/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466634594&sr=1-2&keywords=Onkyo%20receiver


Here's a cheap surround receiver from Pioneer: ($199)

https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-VSX-530-K-Receiver-Bluetooth-Technology/dp/B0141JVEHS/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466634594&sr=1-9&keywords=Onkyo%20receiver


Its worth noting that with floorstanding speakers, you don't really need a subwoofer, only for the heaviest action movies, in which case you could manage with 2.0 for now and upgrade with an additional subwoofer for $100-150 or so some time in the future when you have more money

I know Pioneer isn't much of an audiophile company per say, but they recently hired Andrew Jones who designed the $80,000 TAD Reference One and several other speakers that a considered to be some of the best speakers ever made... so if its Pioneer speakers made by Andrew Jones... you know its quality. He's like the William Westmancott of audio world
