Efficient Bookshelfs on a budget?

7.5 watts in a very large room is not enough to drive these speakers mentioned above . I recommend Acoustic energy Aego 2. It is self powered and can be wall mounted and will look awesome with your plasma.

Just double check @ what OHM rating that 7.5 watts is... a lot of TV based amps output their watts @ 16 or 32 ohms. That would greatly affect your speaker selection.

Sorry, didn't read your post thoroughly. I would forget about speakers until funds would allow you to purchase a separate amplifier/processor.

Vaystrem, if I am not wrong, the B&W speakers will have sensitivity measured either in 8 or 6 ohms, therefore, if I am not wrong, after having read a thread about it, an output device that turns out 7.5watts at 16 ohm, will double that output at 8 ohm, yielding you a good 15 watts and if the impedance would be lower, wouldn't that mean that the fellow would have more watts than less watts to use? Well, the thing that needs to be questioned is if the power supplies of these supposed TV amp are decently built, made. I say, spend $300 used in a very good pair of speakers, try and if it does not work out well, keep them until you get your home set up going. Doesn't your flatscreen already have speakers? If I am not wrong, sound might not be up to concert levels, but most TVs do have some usable volume.
