Heath, you can do a little better than that on the E250. It's available from reputable outfits for about $220 with free shipping. It should be adequate for your use and I wouldn't suggest getting lesser speakers in order to spend more on the sub. Several excellent subs at higher cost were mentioned already, so I'll throw out one at just slightly higher cost which Dr. Hsu assisted in designing and which has gotten some very good reports.
