So, the A2's sound like the best as per recommendations from this thread, but is there anything sub-$250 that's worth the money that also comes with a receiver?

I've been looking at some Onkyo and Samsung deals but it seems like the speakers are mostly garbabe. I'm living with a 70's Akai receiver and80's denon speakers that are...adequate but wholly unreliable but I want some 2.0's or something to replace / add to the whole setup that are both reliable and sound better.

Is this too much to ask for?

Accessories4less.com has A/V receivers starting from $109. Get one of those and any pair of speakers you want with the rest?

Thanks for the suggestion...I will definitely get something like this to replace my 70's akai receiver.

Got some A2's as well due to recommendations from this thread and because I have an audioengine retailer close to where I live.

They sound great, as long as they are aimed directly at my face. I'm impressed by the non-subwoofer'ed base, but they aren't a replacement for a real sub, of course.

They definitely sound better turnt up with the bass down slightly. They are actually the clearest speakers I've ever heard but I haven't heard much, admittedly.

One thing to consider, one speaker is passive and the other is powered and won't work unless it's plugged in, so if you are going to plug these into a pre-existing system I'd recommend to go with P4's.
