What receiver would you recommend from best buy? |

SimpleLife Unregistered guest | You'll really like the Orbs. You could get the Orb stereo system that has a sub and 2 satellites, and use the Athenas to fill that out into 5.1. That way, you get a really great sub, and aren't paying as much for the satellites if you purchased them separately and a sub separately. Alternatively, you could just go Athena all around, since Orb all around doesn't seem like an option b/c they aren't sold at BB. |
