I try to do searches before starting new posts, and even though it was from 2002, I figured why not!

I think that my Dad will absolutely love these speakers, and I will feel good about giving it to him, as an Axiom HT system is out of my budget for gifts, and I know that these Polks are not the best, but, I cannot imagine any HT in a box sounding better than these!

Any suggestions on a good value in a A/V receiver? I have the Pioneer VSX 1014 and like it, but wondering if there are any better (ie cheaper!) values out there. I have 6 months to shop, so I am not in a hurry!
