Matching speakers for Pioneer VSX-1015

GMac Unregistered guest	Posted on Monday, December 12, 2005 - 20:33 GMT Hi, I have my eyes set on the Pioneer VSX-1015 (seemed like a 'value-for-$$' receiver) and am wondering what kind of speakers (5.1) I should be getting. I came across Athena AS-B1 pair for $100 on Amazon, and they seemed to be fairly efficient (I think 89dB or 90dB). I'll be using my system for 60/40 for music/movies. Thanks!

Also check out the vsx-52tx elite series from pioneer, very good quality.

I had them, but I decided to go another route and landed at JBLs but the Athenas sounded great when I had them
