New Here - Questions on receiver/speakers

Heya Guys,

So I ordered my video portion of my AV setup (Panasonic 42" G15 and Panasonic Blue-Ray player) but now I am not quite sure how to approach audio...

I have read a lot of good things about the Onkyo sr607 receiver and seems like the best bang for your buck for a receiver and wanting to keep my sound setup at or below $1000. Now my main question is what speaker setup would pair well with it? I was originally thinking of the Klipsch HD Theater 500 speakers but in one of my other posts someone told me that they don't pair all to well with the sr607.

I can get the Onkyo sr607 bundled with the Klipsch HD Theater 500's for $864 (free shipping) and they will throw in a pair of Polk Audio TSi100 Loudspeaker Cherry Pair with it also. I have no use for the polk speakers really unless you guys have some ideas.

Also I was informed to look into the Energy Take speakers....

But then again the Onkyo HT-S9100THX seems to get good reviews and is an all in one system that has everything.

Im so confused and dont know what to do haha.

Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am not sure what value my opinion has but those Klipsch are very nice speakers. I am considering those as an upgrade to the Infinity set I have.

That bundle sounds like a very good deal. I don't think you would be unhappy with either the 607/Klipsch deal or the 9100 HTiB. :)

Either would be a very good choice. I would lean towards the Onkyo TX-SR607 and Klipsch HD 500 package.

Here are reviews on both -
