New Home Theater, What Speakers?

[Chronix]

Hello all,

This is my first post here and I was hoping to get some solid suggestions.

I'm looking for speakers to build my home theater with. I'm fixing to purchase an Onkyo TX-SR507 and I need help on what speakers to pair with it. I've done some browsing and it seems that the price can go way up real fast, so let me set a monetary limit here. I don't want to spend any more than $300 US for 5 speakers. I don't want to spend more than $200 US for a sub.

So if anyone can point some suggestions out, that would be great. Also, if you need to know anything else, just ask.

Check out www.thespeakercompany.com

They offer HT packages and a 30 day trial period. I'm doing a 3.1 system for now so I ordered the LCR3 package and the ASW210 sub. Use code FF10 for 10% off.

$300 for 5 decent speakers is a real challange.

These Jamo towers bust the budget, but not by much, because it includes free shipping

another option, 2 pair of Polk Monitor 30 bookshelf speakers and a CS1 center, also with free shipping

good luck

After looking around a little more, I have realized that I'm not going to get decent sound for only $300. I think I can push it to around $600 for the 5 speakers and a sub.

Here you go. $100.00 for the whole system.

If you are in DFW area, I would LOAN you my Front LCR for around three months, I guess.
