im new to all of this. so, pardon me. so, i just got the quintet II system. it came with a center and 4 surrounds. what do i need to get next?

[007]

100+ feet of speaker wire, get cheap 16 guage wires - 20-30 bucks tops

1 digital coax wire 10-15 dollar

1 RCA subwoofer cable 10-15 dollars

1 s-video cable 10 bucks

1 entry reciever dont spend more than 250 dollars (I'd recomend the HK AVR-130 or an entry pioneer)

watts are not important for these speakers.

1 subwoofer (spend at least 300 dollars on this unit, its worth the money, even for an entry HT system like the Q2's. Stay away from the KSW-10 or 12. There are better solutions. Check out the HSU STF-1/2 or RW-8/10

1 DVD player, get anything that has digital out. beyond that, all its a pereference of video

quality.

1 TV solution - you're on your own here.

1 box of popcorn

No, I'm sorry, but an entry level Pioneer is going to give you nothing but headache.

Spend $350-400 and get the Panny digital receiver, and be glad you did.

Using a Pioneer VSX-D811S on the Quintet IIs, and no problems here. I would get a more substantial receiver if you plan on listening to DVD-A / SACD tho. At anything over -26dB on the volume control will cause the receiver to overload and shutdown due to Dynamic Range requirements in the audio at peak points.
