Speakers

I would just keep an eye out on craigslist or the like and you probably can pick up a pair for practically nothing just to give it a try.  Again, I wouldn't have mentioned it but they just blended together perfectly.

I have a special place for Sansui receivers.  This is almost going to sound like a joke, but back in the day I purchased from an ad a Sansui receiver along with a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers that had 12" woofers for an enclosed patio when I lived in Huntington Beach, CA.  There was something so musical (magical?) about that combination that no matter who listened to it they always commented how nice it sounded.  Not once did they comment like this regarding my high $ main system.
