My receiver is the Yamaha RX-V663/HTR-6160, 95 watts/channel. That was the first purchase I did for my newb home theater. I'm looking for suggestions on a decent 5.1 setup. I need suggestions for floor standing speakers. Budget is $800/pair.

Lots of threads on < $1k speakers if you search. Really depends on your personal preferences, but the Monitor Audio RS6 is a good starting point.

check audiogon, they have a couple RS6 & RS8 at pretty good price

I would give these a try with that budget.

They give a no risk trial so you can order them and if you don't like them they will give you a complete refund, including shipping.


You've got a ton of options in your price range and I'm sure there will be more posted shortly.

I don't know what the rest of your budget is but you could save a lot by buying a $700 pair of fronts for $400, the Polk Rti8's from amazon.com. Those speakers have been consistently >$320 each for the past couple years and just started getting closed out a couple weeks ago.
