2k budget for home theater

I was thinking of spending 6 to 800 on a receiver and jbl lsr308s in a 5.1 setup. Can I do better with 2k? This is for strictly games and movies. How far can my 2k get me ? I can stretch it to 2400.00. What do you guys suggest? 2 fronts a center receiver and sub for 2.4k possible or anything better than jbl lsr 308s? Thanks!

Those JBL speakers are powered. You don't need powered speakers with a receiver. The receiver contains the power amplifiers. I found this in your budget.

B&K 707 Receiver $799
4 Gallo CL-2 speakers 369/pr = $738
1 Gallo CL-C center speaker $299
1 Gallo CLS-12 Sub $599

Great speakers . Just get yourself a pre/pro that has balanced out  , some balanced cables and you are good to go . Bryston sp2 , Anthem d1 are two great pre's . The new marantz 7702 are lowering in price daily too .

How large is your room and do you listen very loud at times?

Also, concerning the Gallo system listed, the Cl-2 is a 4 ohm speaker. Many new receivers in your listed price range are typically just stable to 6 ohm.

I live in a condo and play all my games (xboxone/360) and watch movies at night. It will not be played loud very much. Just something that is nice and crisp that my wife and I will enjoy.
