Thread Starter 
I'm considering 3 different systems.  Please give me your opinion on which would be best or if I should look at another option.

1. Onkyo tx-sr507b receiver, Klipsch Quintet iii speakers, Klipsch Synergy SUB12 subwoofer (~$880)
2. Onkyo tx-sr507b receiver, Energy RC-Micro 5.1 speakers w/ sub (~$880)
3. Onkyo HTS7200 7.1 home theater in a box (~$700)

Whichever I decide to go with will be paired with a Panasonic tc-p42g10 plasma hdtv, sony ps3, and HD Digital Cable Box DVR.

Thanks for any opinions.

The biggest issue with the 7200 will be the quality of the speakers. The receiver looks pretty good, maybe even a bit better than the 507 (but just a bit) but the speakers will not compare very well with the Energy's or the Quintet's. But of course you need to listen for yourself. I'm not as hard on Onkyo subs as most others around here are so I think it's a wash in the suwoofer dept. It's the speakers I'd really look at.

Let your ears decide if spending an additional $180 on the Kipsch or the Energy speakers is worth it.
