So I got my own place.
I have a Pioneer receiver and would like to add a surround sound speaker package to it.
Where are some great places to buy and what brands should I be looking at: onkyo, yamaha....

Thanks

would crutchfield sell that? how about, target, best buy..etc.

Harmon Kardon is a HELLUVA name in home theatre, but expensive. I remember a good friend of mine was BIG into home theatre, and said he was a member of a FEW forums for home theatre. I would start there, to be honest with you. What sites were those? I have no clue, to be honest. I just was not THAT into it. Another source might be the niche market, look for dedicated stores for home theatre.

When it comes to anything electronic, I've always had good luck with www.cnet.com and their reviews. I purchased a camcorder, plasma TV and several other things based off of their reviews, and they are usually spot on.

So I'd suggest you start there and compare their editors reviews and the customer reviews until you find the speakers that meet your needs and budget. And, when you find them, it will shows you a list of stores and prices to compare. I just pick the lowest price store that has a number of good reviews (don't get scammed!)
