Hi all,I'm looking for a pair of speakers that will mostly be playing TV material (satellite non-HD). Since my main source is not very good, I need speakers that will be forgiving to the sound and make the best of it. I like rich and warm sound, but not too warm. I don't care if they're floorstanding or bookshelves. My receiver will be Harmon Kardon HK-3480 (stereo, 120wattsx2), but its not final yet. Budget for speakers is under $800.
Any reccomendations or suggestions?

I second the MMG recommendation, they will show you an improvement in sound quality anytime the upstream components are improved. For the money I also like the Def Tech Bipolars, BP6, BP8 etc. can be had for a very good price.

Athena speakers are cheap for their quality. For $800, you can get a full set for HT. You can find a lot of reviews on them.I had a pair of Athena AS-B1 bookshelf speakers. They are a bit polite (forgiving?) at the top end but otherwise very satisfying.

Try Magnepan MMG's. They can be had for $550 direct from the factory and are the best bargain in audio. There is a return period and also a trade up allowance. You can learn about them on the Magnepan web site.
