[QUOTE="kay, post: 1363, member: 2"] So are you going to be using it for music mostly? Movies? Multi-channel music? (e.g. SACD/DVD-A) Spend your budget where it counts. You've already got top notch fronts & a sub to fill in the bottom-end. Get a matching centre because that's crucial for movie soundtracks, and a decent receiver to drive all the speakers. There is a couple of very, very nice Pioneers over at http://www.avshop.co.za - for about R8k you can get a stunningly powerful 7.1 machine. You can always add a power amp or two later if you feel the need for more loudness, but seeing as the sub takes care of all the low frequencies, I doubt you'll ever need it. Just remember to set all your speakers to "small" and set the cross over point accordingly (I'd guess ~ 80hz), or run the sub off the front line level inputs in which case set the L/R speakers to large. (The latter lets you set the cross-over point more accurately on the sub itself, you can then use a different HPF for the rest of the speakers on the receiver itself). [/QUOTE]
