So far this is what I have....

Onkyo TX-SR605
Polk R50's (front)
Polk R150's (rear)
Polk Csi25 (center)

what else do I need? a sub?
what kind of sub should I get, not too expensive...

Thanks...

yes you will need a sub, it will cover the lower Freq. better then your speakers. Congrats on your new setup. Enjoy

"To Terminate or Not?
While it's common to use banana plugs or spade lugs to terminate speaker cable, one option worth considering is simply using bare wire termination--just buy the speaker cable raw, strip the ends, and insert them into the side holes in the binding posts. Whether this will work in your application depends largely on how big the holes in your binding posts are, and whether you can successfully access them to get the wire properly inserted (not an easy task on many surround receivers). When it's feasible to do, we like to use bare wire termination because it's simple and inexpensive, and because it avoids making additional connection points (e.g. wire to banana plug) which can fail.
"

The only caveat is that over enough time copper wire will oxidize and the conductivity will go down. Copper oxidation takes many years, at which point you can just cut the wire down another inch.
