5.1 on a budget..

I'm going to dip into home audio for the first time here, and would like to start out with a 5.1 system.

I was looking at the Fluance SX-HTB system, http://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Speaker-Surround-Theater-SX-HTB%2B/dp/B0002WRHZC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1204867609&sr=8-2

I've been doing a lot of reading on avsforum about them, and they seem to get great reviews considering their price.

I'd also have to pick up a sub and a receiver. I was thinking about picking up an Onkyo TXSR575 from here http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXSR575SLV/ONKYO/TXSR575-7.1-Channel-Home-Theater-Receiver-SILVER/1.html

Don't want to spend all that much on a sub, maybe $200 max.

I really don't have any preferences or desires, so I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to spend more then maybe $8-900 when it's all said and done.

Anyone?

Would prefer to buy everything from Amazon, as I have some gift cards from them that I need to use...

.....Why wouldn't you build your own sub? It's not like it'd be difficult for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I really don't have the time anymore. I guess if I put the sub off until the summer I can easily get it done..

I own the same front & rears. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

They're not super great, but were excellent for the price I paid.
