Well I went with a HK AVR-525 Refrib for $430. Hope I made a good decision. I am going with a Polk CS2 Center Monitor 50 front and Monitor 40 for the back.
Sub will be a Velodyne 10" Subwoofer (VRP-1000).
Hope this is a nice setup. I have heard them playing all together and sound real nice.
How much did you pay for the Polks and Velodyne, and from where? If from some place like Circuit city the bad news is that you can probably get better for the same money online, and the good news is that you have 30 days to get your money back.
