I Need Some Direction

[tec_41]

Well I decided to go ahead and buy a Yamaha htr-5830. It had great reviews online and I only paid $100 for it used on ebay. Now for speakers, I need some suggestions. Would something like this be too cheap? I plan on adding a powered sub after I get all the speakers- http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2367742&cp=&origkw=speakers&kw=speakers&parentPage=search

Also, I would probably want some floorstanding speakers for the front, so those Yamahas would just be for the rear.

Should I be looking for something a little more expensive? I'm looking to out-do my Logitec Z-680 computer speakers, which is mainly what this system will be for. But I will also use it for movies and good ol' FM radio.

I would not like to spend more than $175 for a pair of speakers shipped, so this is another good ol' budget system! Any suggestions are appreciated...thanks!

A pair of BIC DV62si's match up real well with that yamaha. I use the same receiver and speaker combo in my bedroom and it sounds pretty good.

Sweet, those are just in my price range...thanks Vynil. If it helps, I'm hoping for quite a bit of bass out of this system. My Z-680's had an 8" 188w rms sub and it was quite loud...

So for a powered sub I am willing to spend $250 max. Now I am pretty handy and could build cabinet for it and buy the sub/amp seprate to save some money unless there is a better option. Any suggestions are appreciated...thanks!

Parts Express has a 15" sub kit for 269. Part Number 300-770. This is a pretty good unit and should do well for both music and movies.
