rack04 Unregistered guest | I am looking for a set of bookshelf speakers to complete my 5.1 surround sound system. These speakers with be paired with Cerwin Vega V-12F mains and a Cerwin Vega V-5C center channel. A Harman Kardon AVR-230 is the brains of the operation. I am looking a budget friendly set of bookshelves. Here are some that I have looked at: Athena Technologies AS-B1 $129.98 @ Best Buy Polk R15 $79.98 @ Circuit City |

Also, there's the e20's for $140. You can listen to these speakers at best buy before you buy them. Also, jr.com isn't a shady online retailer. I think j&R is an authorized jbl retailer. |

These are excellent little speakers (especially after a short break-in period) - and you can usually get a pair for around $100 (shipping included). |
