What to pair up with onkyo 605 for <$500?
2
*willing to increase budget a little(xtra hundred or two) if it can snag me some better gear.
I'm currently debating whether I should go the 2 floorstander's route or a 2 bookshelf/sub route. I'm not gonna compromise even more than I already am by doing the whole 5.1 with my limited budget. I'm currently living in an apt. but will be moving into a house soon (so room dimensions are a no go) with hopefully a moderate sized living room. I mostly play HD movies and games(360 n PS3) and usually keep the volume at normal levels but crank it on occasion.
So I guess my main Q is for the best sound quality for my situation what setup should I go with taking future upgrades into account(but being able to enjoy it now)? Also I have no idea what cables I need, I was thinking just regular speaker cable(except for a possible sub)?
Btw here's what I'm using now... Samsung HT - DM150

Consequently there are quite a few people that owe me money. I may just be able to scrounge up an extra hundred or two.

That is a good deal compared to other e-tailers I've seen. How do these compare to the JBL stadium 8" tower speakers? I seen them at BB for $250/piece. Also next to those were the Klipsch f-2 and f-3 towers. Didn't get to listen though.

@jwc13ac - I'm checking out those usher's right now.
Oh yeah, back to my original question. At my price range what would give a more natural sound? I would think that towers have better mid-range but the bookshelfs would have better highs? Or am I totally off base?
