Hi guys...

I'm new to this forum and Axiom audio in general. Right now I have a 32" Sony WEGA TV for video and a RCA (don't laugh) home theater kit which I got for free a few years ago. It does 5'1, but the sound is very, very poor.

I am considering getting either the Epic Grand Master or the Epic 50. I would need a new receiver and I'm wondering how much I have to spend in order to justify the 2000$ investment in the speakers.

Are there any budget receivers <600$ CND which could power the speakers mentioned above?

Thanks.
