    I also am new to the site and looking for help/insight/recommendations for what I plan to have as my set up. I know this is a budget set up, but just want something simple and effective for my girlfriend and I to use. I already have 2 Monitor 30 Bookshelf speakers but I plan to get:

    2 Monitor 50 Floor Speakers
    1 CS1 Center Channel
    1 Pioneer VSX-520-K

    Will this all work? From the research I have done I think it should but like I said I am pretty novice at these things. Any suggestions would be great.

    Thanks,

    Mo

    What do you guys think of a pioneer elite vsx-31 with my current setup? 299$

    Costco has the vsx-30 for the same price. It looks like a pretty sweet deal, I would think it would be plenty of receiver to push your selection of speakers.
