Help With My First Real Home Theater System (1 Viewer)

[JRL80]

Hi Everyone,


I am in the process of doing research on a home theater system with an $800 budget...I have looked into several receivers and am leaning towards the Pioneer VSX-1020-K (On sale this week at BestBuy for $380) or the VSX-1120-K (On sale this week at BestBuy for $520)..I will probably go with the 1020 because it has everything I am looking for in a receiver and it has the cheaper price tag...I am lost when it comes to speakers...I would really like to have the 7.1 setup but not sure if I can do that with $400 left to spend...can you guys provide some suggestions regarding speakers and possibly receivers if you think I am not making a good choice?


I truly appreciate any help you can provide.


Many thanks!!

Everybody around here always recommends the Energy Take Classics 5.1 in the $400 price range, so I may as well save eveyone the trouble.

CNET also likes your receiver choice pretty well: http://reviews.cnet.com/audio-system-components/pioneer-vsx-1020-k/4505-6462_7-33983134.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1r
