Could someone please give me some cheap but decent speaker recommendations for the Sony STR-DG810 reciever.

Thanks

what is 'cheap'?

The Polk line probably gives you the best bang for the buck.

100-150 maybe depends if i can get anything for that much, these will just be temporary; also can i get hd sound through hdmi with this reciever or is the sony the cheapest i can get hd sound through hdmi?

[theric89]

The Onkyo you're looking at is much better then the other one you mentioned.

Save up another $450 or so. Don't waste your money on something that you'll hate just because you can afford it.

I have a little Yamaha set. For a small room, it's all I need. The woofer still has some pop to it. I paid I believe $199 for it. It's been 3 years and I can still get the walls to shake believe it or not. (It's small speakers)

I just built a system for my daughter using thr Sony STR-DG810, using all HDMI interconnects, and switching thru the receiver.
We used the Boston Acoustics MCS100 5.1 system, which has a good center speaker, 4 surrounds, and a 10" sub complete with cable. Speaker wire is also included, but it is too light.
We bought it thru Amazon.com, free shipping no tax, for $330. You won't find a better buy, and more importantly, you will get a few years of satisfying performance before you want to upgrade.
Good luck!
