The Cerwin-Vega aren't as great, but they do not sound like the complete other end of the spectrum either. Again, I have super limited experience with speakers, and it's just one of those topics (like the Summit-Fi of Head-Fi) that makes me feel utterly dumb, lol.

Ok, I will PM you some links to some ebay auctions (I don't mind of other members want the links, I just don't want some random googler to end up getting into a retarded bidding war). So long as they stay below 150, I suggest you get either of them, and go with a cheaper amp like the T 30. One of the links will be to some book shelf speakers that I own. Even if you buy them and decide that you don't like them for some reason, I will be HAPPY to buy them from you for the same price and postage and begin making a 5.1 audiophile system
. The other I have spent a lot of time listening to, and it is every so slightly better, but they are 4 times the size.As for learning about speakers....

You want the amp and pre amp.
And then you want 2 of these
Everything else on the market is simply trying to get close to these things for a lower price
