What Comes First?

Towers or bookshelf speakers?

Towers, from all the input I have had in the past, bookshelves would likely be to small to adequately fill a large room.

Why not? I will. Speakers, first, always! Theres such a giant gap between the improvements made with better speakers vs. anything else. The amplifier is what you buy to feed the speakers. It makes no sense to buy an amp/reciever and then the speakers. That's like buying gasoline before you buy a car to drive.

I disagree. If you have a really crappy source component, you are better off sticking with speakers that don't resolve as well. In the OP's case, an underpowered receiver could be replaced earlier but I think he'd be better off with some well matched speakers first.

In my case everything is crap so I'm screwed ! Never in a million years when I bought those Sony Speakers in 1987 that I would still have them!

Here's what I have. I have the Subsonic5 subwoofer. I'd go with SVS, Outlaw or HSU for subs;

Here are the specs for the towers. You should audition them. They are a fantastic speaker.
