Panasonic full digital receiver and spend the rest of the money on great speakers. Athenas were awesome sounding for the money. I have FS2.2’s and love them. ---

there is much better out there than onkyo. it’s not crap, but its not great either. i have an onkyo system in my basement, works good for what i need it for. with that price range though you’re probably going to have to look at one of those systems in a box deals, hard to piece together a good system for under a grand. ---

B&W might be out of your price range, they’re 300 series are around 400 for the pair, then you have to get rears, and the subs are very pricy, but you get what ya pay for 🙂 ---

[quote=“BuickGN,post:12,topic:34393"”] but you get what ya pay for 🙂 [/quote] very very true. However, since he’s still setting up his ‘pad’ (apartment), I’m going to venture to say that he shouldn’t try to setup a higher-mid level install. FWIW $0.02 I would love to go Klipsch or B W, but I don’t get that into to it to justify it. ---
