I'm looking for a 5.1 bookshelf system to complement a Panasonic XR57 receiver. The room is 16x17x9ft. It will be used 80% HT, 20% Music. I live in Hawaii so shipping is an issue (USPS is the only cost effective shipping). That's one of the reasons for the bookshelf speakers. You can probably guess what the other is.

I'm moving from a Samsung HTiB system (Hb600). I have two problems with my current system - it only has one dig input, and the sound isn't very good.

I'm considering:

Infinity System - $520 shipped
2x150 fronts
C25 center
1x140 rear
1 ps8 sub
or the Bic H-100 for $120 more.

Velodyne system: - ~$520 shipped.
CHT Front Row front, center, rear
Bic H-100 sub

Opinions/suggestions?

Thanks.

There're as small as ____ but cheaper, more flexible as you can use almost any sub. you damn well please and do look cool....I haven't heard them...has anyone else ?

If it were me, I would go with the Infinity package.
