As for brands, Energy makes excellent mid-priced stuff (and awesome high-end stuff, but that's gonna be out of your budget right now).
Go to:

and locate a dealer near you.
You can get C300 towers for about $190 each, a pair of C100 surrounds for $170 and an ESW-8 Sub for $190. That's $740 for all of you speakers and about $200 for a receiver. If you're willing to spend a grand, you can have a really nice set-up that will last a year or two until you can upgrade the receiver. If that's too much, you can buy the Energy ACT6 system, which includes all of you speakers and a sub for under $600.
If both of those are outside the budget... Since you may be getting a Sony TV and like the Bravia line, Sony has Bravia complete system you can get for about $300. |
I think that's a bad move on anyones part, I for one would rather say F it and just use the TV built in speakers and leave it be.
either do it at least some what right, or don't do it at all.
That's like spending $1500.00 on a cheaper set of wheels for your Z knowing you wont be very happy with them and in 2 years you'll ebay them for 200 dollars and upgrade to some $4000.00 set of wheels.
in the end you're out 6K
