Thanks for your replys! I didn't realize they were made in '97, He said he would sell the speakers and receiver to me for $650, which would be a good deal I think, but I think it would be better to just buy brand new. What would you guys recommend for a setup that will sound crisp and loud at low and high volumes? I would like to stay under $700 and prefer the 7.1 setups, but also heard 5.1 can be just as good.
