I am looking to build Home theater and to start with I am looking for two Bookshelf speakers. Budget is <$500 new/used. Currently I have Samsung 65KS8500 and Oppo 203 Blu Ray Player. Should I go with amplifier, cheapest one for now and two book shelf speakers? If so, what are my brand/choices. Please guide me. Thanks in advance.
