I just picked up an Onkyo 705. I am working on choosing my TV between a 58 Panny (1080p), 6070 Pioneer (768p), Samsung 52 LCD (5271), and trashing my budget and getting a Pioneer 6010.
I am working on a few subs - but am leaning towards the SVS PB12-Plus (because the cherry color is not-debatable with the wife).
So my speaker decision is somewhat constrained by the overall budget which can be spread out to a nicer TV and the expensive (to me) subwoofer.
My thought at present is:
3x M22s (L/R/Center)
2x QS8
SVS PB12-Plus
or
2x M60s
1x CP150 (or M22s)
2x QS8
(other cherry-wood Sub cheaper than the SVS due to the higher price of the M60s and CP150)
What do you guys think? Also I think the stands for the M22s are a bit expensive - any good alternatives without building?
Trying to keep my speaker budget to around 2K including sub. I could possibly even get a rear channel in that budget depending.
Thanks in advance for your advice. I am sure I will be happy with most any setup since I currently roll with the TV speaker on a 27" CRT that is 15 years old or so!
