Rear Speakers and Speaker Stands

[horror4life245]

Hey,

I used to have a decent home theater system but it got stale so I sold it and have started buying a new one. I bought a new receiver last week, the Denon 1910 7.1 Channel. I have a Samsung 40 inch 120Hz. Attached to the Denon 1910 is my Momitsu BDP-899, my cable box, and my Xbox 360. I have my Blu-Ray Player and cable box going through HDMI to the receiver and Xbox 360 going to the receiver through component. I have HDMI running from my receiver to the TV. Tonight I got a TERRIFIC deal and got the MartinLogan Encore TF Center Speaker at Best Buy when they dropped the price because they only had 2 left and wanted them gone. My friend and I bought them for $240 (with tax) each and they were originally $499.99. Tomorrow my brother is giving me his Energy bookshelf speakers and Energy subwoofer. I'll have to make sure they're not blown (THEY BETTER NOT BE OR I'M SCREWED) and then I just need rear speakers. I went to Best Buy and they didn't help me at all with choosing which ones. I know nothing about rear speakers or stands. Any recommendations of rear speakers to go with the rest of my home theater system? I'm not going to throw a budget down, I just want to hear what everyone has to say, but don't say anything too crazy in prices, like in the late hundreds. As for the stands, I need 2 for my front and 2 for my back. Although, I may mount my 2 rear speakers, depends on the speakers. Any recommendations on stands that are strong, sturdy, but are still priced very well?

Please help! Thanks.

Can I ask, what Energy Bookshelf speakers are these? Do you have a model? And just for perfect timber matching, why not try to find the matching center speaker? I like ML speakers, but I would personally want to match up the front 3. Rears don't matter as much....

I'll be getting the bookshelf speakers today since he's dropping them off sometime in the afternoon. I'll have the model numbers then.
I didn't get the matching speaker because I found this one and it looked and sounded INCREDIBLE, so I got this one. And including I didn't know the exact model number or anything, so I didn't know the exact series.
I know rear speakers aren't the biggest deal, but it's nice to have them just for the surround sound. That's why I won't spend a LOT on rear speakers.
But I need speaker stands soon for these Energy speakers.

I usually go to the crutchfield outlet store and look for open box or scratch and dent items.

I haven't done much price matching with other websites though. The other one that comes to mind is
standsandmounts.com

As far as other speakers for the rears, Newegg.com still has good deals going on the Polk Monitor series.
You can get a pair of Monitor 40s for $130 with free shipping
Newegg.com - Polk Audio Monitor 40 Cherry Two-way bookshelf loudspeaker Pair
The Monitor 30s are $110

well I would want to know what bookshelves you are getting so we know how big the tops of the stands should be.

I'll know VERY soon.
My speakers should be dropped off here in about 20 minutes or so and I'll post in here the size and stuff.

The bookshelf speakers are the Energy Connoisseur C-2 Loudspeakers but I'll have to measure them sometime tomorrow.

Try something like that stand. And look on ebay for the Energy C-100 bookshelfs, I think you would like them too.

The dims. on your speakers are 9.75w, 9.8d, 17h, so something like the sanus with a minimum of about 6.5" top plate to an 8" top plate should work good.
