I am trying to setup a system for my brother. His budget is about $2500 for Receiver, and 5 speakers + sub.
So far we have decided on NAD 743 receiver at approx. $650
This leaves about$1800 for the speakers and sub. We are thinking about the following brands and models:Main: Triangle Titus ~$550
Rear: Triangle Alliot $500
Center:Sextan $500
Sub: NHT SW10 Mk 2 $400
NHT SB3 ~$600
NHT SB2 $400
SC-1 $270
SW10 Mk 2 $400Epos ELS3 ~$330 x 2
Epos ELS3 C $300
Velodyne CHT10 $350The subs can be interchanged. Which system is better for mostly jazz and folk rock with some movies thrown in?
The room is about 12x 16'Thanks Jun

Suggest you look into the new Magenpan budget HT speakers. Once you hgear them you will never go back to box speakers.
Thanks for the suggestion. Wow I did not know how inexpensive the Maggies were. I have talked with my brother. He has a problem with wall mounting but I am pushing for a trial anyway.Jun
Their new HT speakers are definitely at a low price point. Magnepan also sells their MMG's for $550 a pair with a money back guarantee, probably the biggest bargain in audio today. Of course what they are doing is getting you hooked so you'll trade up later, as many of us have. Particularly from an involvement and suspension of disbelief point of view, Maggies cannot be beat.
