I recently bought a Harman Kardon AVR-254 receiver to start to slowly replace a Sony 5.1 HTIB set.
I found out since then that I can't use the Sony sub since it's passive, I need an active sub. Looking briefly at subs, I decided to see if I could go ahead and get at least fronts and a new sub.
First I found a Onkyo 7.1 set SKS-HT40 for $220. It seems like a pretty good deal, but I'm only going to use 5 speakers for the foreseeable future (few years).
I have been looking at the Energy Take 5 set, it's currently $150 at newegg. I thought about pairing it with the Energy ESW-8HG sub which can be found ~100 on ebay. That seems like a much better deal than the Onkyo set to me.
This is for a room that's approximately 20 x 20.
Any comments or suggestions? I'm open to sub suggestions, the Dayton 10" looks pretty good for only $50 more.
Thanks.
