Hi, first post
I have slowly been piecing together a nice surround system, and am now at the point where I want help. As much of a money magnet I am I still don't want to take the time to save up for something crazily expensive.
What I have: small bookshelves (Energy) that recommends a max of 100W of amp power(each speaker)
- mid-size bookshelf speakers max 150W (Pro-linear)
- 8" powered sub
- Old, good for nothing pioneer amp (nothing against Pioneer)

What I need:
- Center speaker
- Receiver, price range 600~800
- rear speaker(s)

I know what's worth 600-800 for receivers, but I don't know what brands are the best at that price range and what speakers would match it and my other speakers. I have other uses for my bookshelf speakers if people think I need to get something else for a surround system. Thanks for the help.
