Speaker recommendations for Arcam AVR300?
Can't recommend without describing your room/setup. I wouldn't recommend large speakers for small room, typical speakers in a low ceiling far back seating situation, nor dipoles in a dead room. Need more info...

Here's the deal...you're talking to your dealer (with an agenda) about what you should get. Then you're asking our oppinion. So, who are you going to believe? Do you need to get to the point where all the seeds planted in your head add up,make sen...

I've heard, sold, and installed the Pioneers. The flagship is ok, but not as good as the other competition on it's own, sonically. The entry level Pioneers?....I would pass personally. Again, better sonics on entry level HK's, Denon's, Outlaw, for...

I used to deal in Paradigm in the past. I would recommend the better sounding, higher current, Harmon Kardons (or even Outlaw/Denon)with those personally. Sound is everything for audio gear! Would you agree?

Home Theater In a Box?
Negative on all of the above. Newbie college students should not be going with "essoteric Galo's", or the "Magnapan route!!!!" (old audiophiles from the 70's maybe...lol)Stick with dynamic piston traditional designs. Packages you won't go wrong wi... 
Great Copper Cables?

All kidding aside what speakers do you have?, how big is room, what budget are you leaning toward? Really, the bigger the receiver, the better you'll likely come out, all things considered. Receivers needs lots of help with current deliver and pow...

Audiophiles and enthuiests alike will tinker, plot and plan HT systems around their full range two channel systems to no end! They'll even go "sans" the processor, do processing for DD/DTS in their dvd player, out of the analog out's of the dvd, i...

JOHNMCELFRESH, there is a VAST DIFFERENCE between full range speakers with large woofers, that play down to or bellow 20hz(+/-3db or better), and ACTIVE POWERED WOOFERS!!!...make no mistake! The control and power deliver, and thus efficiency of a ... 
Thoughts on A/V receivers
The lower price point receivers are sonically lacking in terms of power out put, dynamics, 3dimmensionality, and realism. I find receivers with much better current delivery for the money, are Outlaw, Denon, Harmon kardon.Good luck
