System Audio Speakers

I am thinking of getting a new home audio system, and I was wondering what I should look for in the impedance of my reciever's output and speakers.

I know it's measured in Ohms, usually 4,6, or 8, but which would give the best perfomance? I'm looking for the most accurate audio reproduction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I'm not looking to spend over $600 for the system. The best impedance rating withing this budget...

8 ohms is pretty much standard. 6 ohms is fine too. 4 ohm speakers will be easier to drive, but may cause some amplifiers to overheat...

Big bucks system with sound that is subtle and detailed but can get in your face or shake your booty if the music calls for it. Extreme audiophile ...

I'm on a limited budget, but would like to get a nice home audio system for my family room. I need to have the surround speakers in the ceiling. Should I buy a complete system or maybe piece on together? Thanks!

Hi. you can buy a complete system which is a home theater in a box, but you would not get the flexibility and sound quality of a system put together with some of the best components from different manufacturers.Ok,so we know your budget. If you could let me know if you want 5 speakers and a subwoofer (5.1) or 7 speakers and a subwoofer(7.1) ?Any particular brand of Receiver ? What Source are you using or going to buy ? (DVD/CD Player,Satellite,Tuner,Turntable)
Loudspeakers all vary in their sound quality.Some are bright sounding , others emphasise the bass frequencies while some have a fairly neutral sound meaning the do not favour any part of the frequency range.These tend to be more expensive than the others but are easier to live with .They reproduce all kinds of music equally well.

Other people on Answers will tell you to spend the most money on speakers and to get them first but that is not the way to go if you want the best sound for your budget.

The Source is the most important part because this is where the signal,( which has been retrieved from the software) is converted into an electrical equivalent and sent to the Pre-Amplifier.(or the Pre-Amp section of a Receiver) to be amplified enough to send to the Power Amplifiers (or the Power-Amp section of a Receiver) The Power Amps amplify the signal enough to be sent to the Loudspeakers.
This is how the signal travells through all of the components and only in this direction.The point is the signal can never be improved within the chain once it has started.It can only be maintained or degraded.Audio and Video reproduction is a damage control job.If we don't get quality information from the Source.....the Pre-Amp,Power Amps, and the Speakers cannot improve the signal. What is generated from the Source component will be reproduced ,but not improved in the chain.Therefore the goal is to change the signal as little as possible.

HERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD RECEIVERS WITH HDMI.

every speaker imgonna get some1 says not to get those kinds and they tellme what to get and then someone tellsme not to get them and i just wannaknow...What is the best car audio speaker?

you cant listen to everyone else all the time. If u wanna get the best speakers regardless of money then there are a plethora of companies that have very high powered competition grade speakers and subwoofer that will be loud and good. your best bet is to go to an audio specialties shop not best buy, walmart, or circuit city and see what they have. thats not to say that walmart and best buy dont have good brands, but an audio specialties shop will be able to answer most if not all of your questions.

I'll suggest JL audio, Audiobahn, and Memphis audio are all very good high quality brands to look into. to name a very small few.

I'm in the market for an home audio system to go with Samsung UN55B8000. Finding the right TV wasn't so hard, I'm having a very hard time choosing between audio systems.

I plan to listen to music from time to time, however the main function will be movies, TV (Mostly Sports) and games.

The TV is around 10' from viewing position in a 10' high ceiling living room.
I don't know if that's even relevant when choosing a sound system, but I thought it might matter for better acoustics.

Should I even consider a 7.1 system?
I never even considered a 7.1 system, until I began my search.
It seems like I could end up kicking myself later on, if I don't get a 7.1 system now.
I plan to keep this entire home theater system for a long time, perhaps until there's another ground breaking change in entertainment systems, like HDTV.

My price range is around $2,000, however I'm willing to take recommendations over my range, if the extra cost is justified.
I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I do have ears and I'd like to pick the best audio system for my price range. :)

I have looked into Klipsch and Definitive Technology speakers.
For receiver, I've looked into Onkyo, Denon and Pioneer.
Here are links to specific models, I've considered.

Please help me choose the right system.
Any recommendations, help, advice, etc will be appreciated.
Please, please do not reply with a simple brand name or model, this wouldn't help me much at all.

Thank you in advance! :)
Home theater system will be placed in a 15' x 20' living area, but the area extends to dining room, kitchen, hallway, etc.
What I mean is that the area is in the open and not closed with walls.

Do you like mine?I think Onkyo 806 is too much for you, how big is your room? If you are ok with 90 watts why go for 130, mine is OnkyoTX-SR605 and the speakers are all JBL I made the installation , wires inside the walls, everything a $600 value. E mail me if you like it. I guarantee you this toy sounds great!
You can get the receiver online if you want to, I got it in a store (Miami) and the speakers in Best Buy, waiting for a coupon or a sale, saved few hundreds.
