Home theater surround sound sites?

[ChazUTX]

I was wondering if anyone knows any good sites to cruise for home theater type stuff. I'm building a home and having it pre-wired for surround sound and want to start researching all types of home theater surround sound.

Thanks.

www.audioreview.com is a good place to read up on everything.

To save you time though, for speakers, don't get them out the back of a white van. Order online:

- Axiom M80ti if you want tower speakers.
- Ascend Acoustics CBM-170s if you want bookshelf speakers.

I have the Ascends, and they are phenomenal. I put in a Nick Drake CD and heard things I've never heard in the 8 years I owned the CD. Not too expensive either, just $340/pair.

I put in Definitive Technology UIW-BPA's for surrounds and UIW-75 for the Center channel with two towers for Front L&R in my 7.1 setup driven by a Yamaha RXV-1500. Absolutely phenomenal.

This place is pretty good for lots of product info and how-to advice:

avsforum.com has everything you'd ever want to know, and more.

For relatively cheap surround sound set-ups, I like the Athena's, JBL's, or Klipsch.
