I have a pretty good receiver (Sony) but my speakers are from the late
'90s. I think I am not getting full benefit of my receiver. Any good
cheap decent speaker packages out there?
Used to be that 50% of your system cost should be the speakers.

I didn't realize that 50% was a rule, but the last system I bought it
worked out that way - a Denon DN-A7100 and a pair of JBL 4328's. My

This is an ideal Craigslist item. For the most part, you can find good speaker
deals on CL and save some serious coin.
I have a pair of TimeFrames that act as my front channel speakers. Nothing for
