First post on here, so bear with me.
I'm looking for a decent surround sound system or set of speakers for a smaller room. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities: the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System and the pair of Sony SSF-7000 floorstanding speakers. I'm a college student, but I'm looking for these to last me in the long run. I'll mainly be using whichever I choose for video games, TV, and movies.
So, my first question is: For a small-medium sized room, which system is better? I know that a 5.1 Surround Sound system is a little much, but I like the idea of having the speakers mounted on my wall and I could always use these when I move into an apartment one day. I'm considering the Sony SSF-7000 because I think floorstanding speakers look incredibly stylish and these ones seem to be highly recommended without being too expensive.
My second question, which is perhaps the most important, is: Can a Sony STRDH520 power either or both of these? To be honest, I picked this receiver because it's cheaper.
Detailed answers as to why you pick which system would be greatly appreciated.
