I need some opinions on a small setup in my living room. The room is long and narrow 11x20, and the TV sits along the 20 foot wall. It is not centered in the room as it is flanked by doors on both sides. I sit around 8-10 feet away. I have no real desire to put rear speakers in. This will be 95% for TV and movies. I have a 55" Samsung LED, and just want some sound for movies. Not looking for audiophile 5.1 sound.
I currently have a older Pioneer Elite receiver I can use for my setup. I am looking for a sub and some nice bookshelf speakers. I currently have a Klispch CS-500, but I am wanting more. My budget is $500 or less. I have a Ascend Acoustics setup in my basement and I do enjoy the Ascend sound.
I am looking at Pioneer and Cambridge bookshelf speakers so far:

I have heard the floor standing Pioneers, and I hear nothing but glowing remarks about the budget Andrew Jones speakers. I have also heard great reviews about the Cambridge S30's. I am also kicking around a Zvox 580 or a sound bar of some sort. Just looking for opinions.
Feel free to send any suggestions my way! Thanks!
