New member Username: Bojangle82Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | I am planning on buying a pair of JBL E100's or Athena AS-F2.2's for a solid 2.0 system, but plan on surround when I have the space for it. What should I consider for a reciever and am I going to need an amp to back it up? |

New member Username: Bojangle82Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-06 | I'm just trying to use the speakers to their potential, but if I can get a good reciever for under $500 I'll be ecstatic. I don't know much about home theater amps... |

New member Username: Bojangle82Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | Is the lack of HDMI support on the 1016 going to hurt me in the future? |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 11507 Registered: Dec-03 | I doubt it. HDMI is not set in stone yet. |

New member Username: Bojangle82Post Number: 5 Registered: Nov-06 | Does anyone have any suggestions on which pair to buy? I've heard the Athena's sound better but I like the looks of the JBLs a lot better...maybe suggestions on a different pair? Budget is around $600 |
