hi all
i live in a dorm and ive posted a few questiosn here about buying a system. I currently have a sony wega 15'' flat panel LCD tv and a harman/kardon DVD 22 dvd player. I want to buy a receiver and i had intended on getting a 5.1 speaker system to go along. I dont have a big budget, i have about 500 dollars to spend but if im not gonna be satsfied then i dont wanna spend that much. I know i need to get a receiver, ill probably get a Pioneer VSX-815 or an Onkyo TX-SR503. My question is, would i be better off just getting two bookshelfs which i can later convert to rears instead of going out and getting a 5.1 system? if im going to be dissapointed with my 5.1 speakers then i dont wanna spend the money on them, but will i? Ive been told that the athena point 5s and the athena micra 6 are good systems. Should i go for the 5.1 or get the bookshelfs? what athe best bookshelfs for around 200 dollars?
