I'm interested in building a 2.1 system + reciever for about ~500. I'd like to keep it upgradable in the future. I'm being torn between two routes:
1. Buy a ~$200 stereo reciever(like the Onkyo TX-8255) and spend the rest on speakers.
2. Buy a el-cheapo thrift store receiver, and spend the entire budget on speakers.
In addition, I'm not sure if I should just get a pair of floorstanding speakers, or 2 bookshelves/floorstandings+ subwoofer.
What course do you recommend? Any particular brands that I should look at? This will be almost strictly for music listening, not HT purposes. If it's relavent, I listen mostly to jazz, bossa nova, latin music, drum and bass, and abstract hip hop.
Thanks in advance,
