What are you looking at, a 5.1 system?

Yambeka Audio systems have been getting favorable buzz.

I'm no fan of any of the new Bose stuff. If you had some 501 or 601 from late '70's - early '80's then maybe If you got your Lifestyle system really cheap, maybe you could sell it for a profit?

If you want to give the Bose a try, go for it. I'm sure we can help you figure things out. I'm not familiar with the Lifestyle 38, I understand many of these new Bose systems have proprietary connections and/or run everything through the bass module; making it very difficult to integrate other manufacturer's components.

Can you give us some more info on what Denon components you have and what you would like to do?

well since lastpost I decided to purchase YAMBEKA speakers to try out I seen the revue here and for the price I thought what the heck I'm waiting for delivery

[jackfish]

Anything SVS or HSU would work well. A SVS PB10-NSD for $430 or HSU VTF-1 for $400 perhaps. If you want economy, a very good performing sub is the AR-S112PS which can be found factory reconditioned with a 90-day warranty for $130. http://www.discountjungle.net/produc...fer_s112ps.htm I have one paired with B&W Rock Solid monitors which is a very good sounding 2.1 system.

First time I heard of The Yambekas. They kind of scare me, look like those White Van Specials...I have a room that's using The Hsu Horn Speakers and for the money, they're fabulous.

I have a set of the Yambekas setting here in my office for my brother. They are super inexpensive... these were less than $300 shipped (with a discount) for the 5.0 setup. The speakers themselves are very nice looking... craftsmanship is surprising for the money (and if you can get them to you without Fedex Ground mutilating them ). I've not heard them, but one of our own here has reviewed them subjectively and there are several who have purchased them who have been very pleased. Based on this info, I would say if you are looking to get by with something very inexpensive, these are a good bet.

Just wondering if anyone has yet to hear a set of Yambeka speakers in HT set up either 7.1 or 5.1 I purchased a set of 5.1 but I did'nt install them yet my HT is not done still in drywall will be ready in a few weeks but none the less still would like to know how they sound. I read review done here at shack just wondering how they perform.

[Sonnie]

I haven't heard much on them other than our review and the review over at www.satelliteguys.us where several have purchased them there.

I have a 5.0 setup sitting in my office for my brother waiting on him to get his residence setup. I was originally going with them in our great room until my wife decided she wanted her built-in entertainment center that I have been promising her for about 5-6 years. She now has it and I ended up going with bookshelf speakers.

If I recall, a member here recently said he was going to order a set. If he did, hopefully he will post his impressions.
