I am looking at the Klipsch Reference Theater Pack 5.1 surround sound system offered at my local Costco for my first surround speakers. I also want to add a set of bookshelf speakers, R-41M's, to this system for a 7.1 surround system. it will be going in a small living room and connected to an Onkyo TX-NR686 I picked up pretty cheap at Best Buy. my budget for speakers isn't great. looking to hear any advice on this setup, if it will work? or any other ideas. thanks.
-UPDATE-
well I went a totally different direction after doing quite a bit of reading on these forums. not to mention I was able to find some really good prices online. here is what I currently have and what I am still waiting for in shipping.
Klipsch R-51M front left and right
Klipsch R-34C center
Klipsch R-41M back surround
Klipsch R-41M height (not sure if front or back yet)
Klipsch R-100SW
I power all of them with an Onkyo TX NR696
I am waiting for the R-41M's to be delivered
so now to update my question, should I set up for 5.1.2 or go 7.1?
