Looking for a 2.1 system.

Looking for a 2.1 system. Price range is $200-$500.

Sound quality is important. Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm into car audio somewhat, but not home audio. So any guides or points in the right direction will be great.

I use these and they sound awesome to me. Very clean and crisp.

The bass isn't killer though, but still thumps alright.

They are under $200 most everywhere. For the money you can't go wrong.

Denon AVR-1912, 320

Infinity Primus P153's - 100 when on sale.

Dayton Sub 800 80.

There's your 500 dollar setup. If you want to add another 40 you can get the Sub 1200.

Alternatively, you can get the Dayton DTA-100A Speaker amplifier and a sound card like the Titanium HD and save some cash.

Would it be redundant to have a nice sound card, which goes into the receiver?
