I was curious about that Jamo set that you posted callos01. Is there a review on it somewhere, or do you have some personal experience with it? I couldn't find anything when I searched for it.

Any comments on the Jamo vs. something like Energy Take Classic 5.1 ($399) or any of the other sets like the Infinity TSS 800, or the Klipsch HD 300, or the Polk RM6750 mentioned in this, and another thread?

Also, are there any receivers around that $189 receiver that would be worth getting? With shipping it comes to $207 for me. I more than likely will not go beyond a 5.1 system for a long time, if ever.

These are all pretty much within the price range I was looking to spend and any input is greatly appreciated.

The Jamo set will offer more then the other systems you are looking at from the point that the towers will have more output. It will still need a sub eventually, but Id take the Jamo over any of the others, with the Energy Take 5.1 second. The Onkyo 508 for $189 at http://www.accessories4less.com will be the best receiver at its price. Jamo has a nice warm sound that is easy to enjoy.
