Re: What should i look for in a reveiver???
You will need to post a budget for the sub and speakers. Also, what type of speakers you're looking for. Towers, bookshelves, satilites, etc. Most often recommended for a sub is SVS followed by HSU and Elemental Designs but if you are really on a tight budget I'd look at PartsExpress.com or this
Energy SW8 from the AudioAdvisor. You can really get more for your money by buying from a good internet company than from a retail store, particularly with subs. And speakers, too.

Re: What should i look for in a reveiver???
Here are a few decent but in-expensive subwoofers:
Dayto Elite 8"/ $159 or
Dayto Sub 80 8"/ $94 and
Energy SW8/ $88. AudioAdvisor.com has other Energy speakers on closeout you should look at. Or you could get other Polk speakers to fill out your system. And of course, just because I like what I've mentioned doesn't mean you will. Just want to show you what's out there.
Here is an example of an Energy speaker AudioAdvisor has.
Energy C-100/ $149 a pair. And they have others.
Looks like FutureShop has the
C-100 for $79 a pair (in black). But they don't have a matching center channel.
