: I have to say that I've had a little (very little) experience with setting up a home theater. My problem is what to do about the speakers. You see I don't want to go "all-out" and get very expensive speakers right away. I would like to spend a maximum of about $1500 to start. In the future, I would like to get better speakers, but I don't want the speakers I buy now to go to waste. I have a Yamaha RX-V2092 receiver.

: I am thinking about getting 4 NHT SuperOnes to start. Does anyone have any opinions about using them as satellites? I hoping that I'll be able to keep a pair as rear speakers, when I decide to upgrade and get better speakers for the front.

: Also, I do need help with choosing a subwoofer and a center speaker. I was thinking of a M&K VX-7 Mark II as the sub.

: Any opinions are highly appreciated.

**I think I goofed my original reply. I bought:
B&W 601 ($400) front
B&W CC6 ($350) center
B&W CWM5 ($250) rear in wall
Paradigm PS1000 ($520) sub

Sounds great for $1500. Center and sub a vital as they anchor the whole thing together. Don't skimp on these or you'll be dissappointed with the whole system. My system is in the basement so I needed a sub up to the task. The Paradigm rocks without being muddy.
