I've been doing research to replace my old audio system with an HD ready one. I have Sony 40" LCD and Playstation 3. Now i need speakers and a reciever.
I want an HD ready reciever, and from what ive seen online ive settled on the Onkyo tx-sr706. I want smaller speakers mostly beacause of wife and budget constraints. From what i've seen for the price I like Polk Audio RM95 group featurning RM8 speakers for $499 to $550 or Mirage Prestige series nanosats for about $950 with sub or Mirage omnisat V2. I also thought about Klipsch RSX-3/RCX-3 system with sub for $1k. My max budget for reciever and speakers was 1.5k. If you have alternatives you like better or want to provide an opinion just on the 3 mentioned it would be greatly appreciated. The only speakers ive actually heard are the Polk RM8s and they sounded good to me in store. Better than Klipsch quintet 3s anyway.

For 1.5k system this is what I would do:

Denon 2308ci -- on sale -- 6ave Electronics $478

SVS SB Series 5.0 SetUp -- $ 599

SVS PB12-NSD -- $599

Total $1,700 --- If you can go a couple hundred over this will provide you with superior performance to the systems you suggested...
