Anyone have any suggestions on a good surround speaker package including sub for around $700-$800?

try the Athena Micra 6 system, only thing I didn't like is the subwoofer, adequate, but not impressive. Probably the only weak link in this system. The JBL SCS series are also good, strong point is the sub but some details are missing in the satellites.
What receiver are you using?
cheers

I was also looking at the Energy 5.2 system as well as the Polk 6700. It looks like I will have actually 1G to spend after doing a little thinking. I am using an older SONY reciever which will get upgraded also, the model number is DE445. But I am going to do the spearkers first. Any suggestions on the two surround systems I am thinking about?

I like the Energy system better than the Polk 6700. Better sound quality overall, more detailed than the Polks.

I would get the Athena and a Velodyne sub since I can get one for pretty cheap...Its pretty much a toss up between the Energys and the Athena.

the Athena with the Velodyne sub is a pretty good combination with music and HT.
The Athenas are made by the same folks that make Energy and Mirage speakers, API, if that's worth anything ;-)

cheers
