if you want a cheap 5.1 set with decent sound check out the polk rm6750's. you can find them on amazon for about 250. you could even find its better counter part the rm6880! those sound pretty good for their price tag (appx. 500) but just remember, rarely do bundles available at retail sound that great.

You sir, are correct.

My Onkyo HTIB came with the 540 speaker set, and they are truly quite nice. Go with the 540s, and upgrade your speakers as time and money allows.

didnt want to start another thread and this was perfect, i am set on the 705 ..... what do you guys think about Klipsch - Synergy Series Quintet III 5-Piece Home Theater Speaker System for my receiver...... i am not an audiophile so i am sure i will be impressed either way, i just wanna know if these will produce good sound for my buck on my blu viewing experience.

this will be paired with a definitive tech subwoofer

Ive said this before and i hate to sound like a broken record,broken record,broken record (just joking)

Check out pawn shops in your area,You'll be surprised what $400 will get you.There's nothing wrong with used speakers.Ive saved over $2500 in speakers because of pawn shops.What do you have to loose?

What ever you choose to buy an go with i wish you the Best
