Hi,
I currently have a Yamaha HTR-5450 that came in a HTIB setup I have previously bought. I have had it for a couple years and I believe I have blown out a couple of speakers because certain frequencies cause rattling. As a result I'm thinking about getting some new speakers. The catch is that I need either tower speakers or speaker stands, because I don't want to hang the speakers. I am not adverse to getting a whole new setup, but my current line of thought is sticking with my current receiver and getting the Klipsch Quintet II with speaker stands. I would use the Yamaha subwoofer that came with my original HTIB. I also looked at the Polk R50's as well, but it seems fry's, has raised the price. Any other alternatives? Does it make sense to just scrap the whole thing and get a new system? Also is the Sony Bravia Link worth it? I have a 40XBR4, and was thinking of switching to sony. Although, the one feature my Yamaha has that I suspect sony doesn't is 5 speaker surround.
Thanks,
Dan
