Yamaha RX-371 and speakers (1 Viewer)

[raiderman]

I bought a Yamaha RX-371 to replace my Onkyo and I want to replace my speakers for a 5.1 setup in a small apartment. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What type of speakers do you want? Towers, bookshelf, satellites? What's your budget? The Energy Classic Take 5.1 system is very popular and highly rated.

I would like bookshelf speakers. My budget is 1500. (not including subwoofer).
