Hi all,
College student on a budget. Currently using an Onkyo HTIB 7.1 speaker collection with a Sony STR-DN1000 receiver - rather than the Onkyo one.
I was going to update the surround channels and subwoofer but ended up seeing this deal at Bestbuy . Apparently the TSX series is half off and I'm about ready to pull the trigger. I plan on buying two TSX-100b Bookshelf pairs to utilize as surround and rear speakers, the TSX 150 C as a center channel, and two TSX 330t as front channels. This should be a noticeable improvement over the current speakers.
Some pretty basic questions for you all, as I'm a bit of a newbie:
I'd love to get the TSX 550T or one of the higher end Polk models but I simply can't afford them. With this deal, I'd be able to get the seven speakers (two fronts, one center, four bookshelves) for only $600 - the price of one of Polk or Klipsch high end towers. And while I'm sure those sound amazing I suppose I'll need to wait a few years for those haha.
Thanks in advance!

Some pretty basic questions for you all, as I'm a bit of a newbie:
- BIG QUESTION: My 50" Pana Plasma is wall mounted 5 feet from the floor (to middle of screen) and my entertainment stand reaches only 2.5 feet high (where I'd leave the center since it is too heavy to wall mount). Would this be problematic for movie and game content? The towers are 42" tall. I sit quite close to the screen, the room is small, and I'm worried about the height positioning.
- Will these speakers work well with a BIC PL-2000 or BIC F12 Subwoofer?
- Would I need to upgrade my receiver to really enjoy these speakers?
- Bestbuy has the black speakers marked half off but not the cherry. I've contacted them and so far they're hesitant to sell me the cherry at the same price. Any advice? Price match elsewhere?
