Thanks to both of you for your advice. I'm going to take you up on it tomorrow, by checking out some stuff at a couple local stores here. Thanks for taking the time. I'm not all that hard to please. The way I see it, that one set of speakers is a steal at $70 if it's even remotely serviceable. Yeah, maybe it's a mismatch for a higher-end receiver, but I don't have that huge a budget to spend on right now, and if I can save money on one side of the equation, I'd like to do it. I don't see many quality receievers out there for $70!
(Please tell me if I'm missing any!)
I'm looking at buying a house sometime next year, so if I can get a decent set of speakers for $70 for a year, that's cool with me. I don't want- however- utterly craptastic speakers, so if anyone has anything really bad to say about this choice, lemme know! I really appreciate it- this message board is a great resource, I've been reading alot of the threads.
