HT Speaker Package - Jamo H426 vs Pioneer SP-FS51

[k11]

How would you guys compare these systems.

There have been many discussion on how good the pioneers are in the budget range. But they are too big and ugly, especially the center channel.

I looking to get one of these 5.1 setups.

Take Pioneer FS51 Floors + Bookshelfs BS21 + Some other smaller center channel (Pioneer CS is just plain ugly)

Pioneer FS52 (2012 model) + Bookshelfs BS22 + Some other smaller center channel

Jamo H426 package

Used Def Tech Mythos Twos or Six + Polk OWRM3 Surrounds for rear + Some center channel

Mirage OS3 FS + Mirage OS3 satellites for surrounds and center

Used Klipsch Gallery G28 + Klipsch Gallery G12 for surrounds and center


What do you guys suggest?

My Receiver - Pioneer VSK-821K

My room is 19X15, Living room, no big FS speakers, under 10 inch depth.

Movies is primary, 90%. Music only 10%.
Will not need high volume environment.

Sub choices - Jamo 8 inch 210, Pioneer SW8, Polk 10 inch, Def Tech super cube 2000, Velodyne, JBL 8 inch or 10 inch


Are there any other choices at this range?

I am importing them. Around 12-14K per pair for floor standing and another 5K for bookshelfs and 5K for center, with shipping it could be under 30K.

Can get the whole package to be 35K with a cheap SW8 sub.

Thats a great deal if you can get them. I think the cheapest per speaker for 52 is 100 dollars at tiger direct. So what about customs?

I got a pair of 22s from a friend who was visiting US last week - unfortunately I bought it from tigerdirect via google wallet and hence cost me 6400...I think buying it from Amazon is cheaper as its 99 dollars with free shipping.

There are lots of discussions the Pioneer Sub and most seem to prefer Energy or Polk.

Customs is not a big issue, if you are bringing in as used, without box.

I have seen many people from middle east bring lot of stuff.
