Good Monitors for no more than 150?
wow thanks for all the responses, my buddy has some phase techs and they sound wonderful for such small speakers. I will look into those for sure. Does anyone have any info or experience with the dayton br 1? They are do it yourselfers. 
Snell E 3 vs snell a2
hmm alright is that a good price though at 400 for a2's? I could just re sell them for a profit you think? What do used a2's go for? I never really see them for sale, they are in a cherry wood also. 
Snell E 3
i have found the snells to be amazing speakers, simply amazing, however i would like to keep my amp at a reasonable level. 
Snell E 3

onkyo 805 vs 806
ok well thanks for the clarifications...you have been a huge help! Now for one last question, is this the best i can do used in that used price range for the features i am looking for? I just received an offer for my marantz sr7400 for 275 split s...

onkyo 805 vs 806
thats what i was thinking too, the 805 sounds like a better machine overall, minus some features that dont matter to me such as the other zones since i will only be in one room 
125 watt or 80 watt?
haha you know i was just messin with you, yea that hurts bad about that pioneer...i did not even see that! You know anyone trying to get rid of that onkyo around audiogon or anyone you know? OR do you have any other suggestions about recievers in ... 
125 watt or 80 watt?
well i did some researching on the onkyo it sounds like everything i was wanting. But, i still would like to know if it would sound better than a seperate amp like the carver. 
125 watt or 80 watt?
i totally understand where you are coming from, but what is wrong with having a new pioneer with the carver supplying the power, it has all the same features with updated hd audio, and the carver would supply good power, am i missing something in ... 
125 watt or 80 watt?
Im sure you dont... but i was wondering why an amp preamp would not be better than the onkyo? 
125 watt or 80 watt?
Dlcockrum, You think i would be better off not even getting an amp/pre amp set up? I can get the pioneer for 280 shipped and the carver for 350 bringing my total to 620? This would be a better option than amp/preamp? keep the opinoins rolling!! 
125 watt or 80 watt?
Remember i am trying to keep this whole "upgrade" below a reasonable price. 350-400 is about all i can spend on an amp, and i would like it to be a 3-5 channel one at that. I am into the home theatre aspect of this and music dts dvds also. Please,... 
125 watt or 80 watt?
well i was planning to upgrade to hd audio using a pioneer vsx 819 as a pre amp. I wanted to do this so i can get all the new hd audio while having a seperate amp to power everything. I have a snell hcc-500 for a center and little sony bookshelfs ...
