Sub: Dayton kit. Highly regarded among owners in the speaker forum.
Receiver: Outlaw Audio. Ditto.
Speakers: JBL NSP-1 package, may be able to find another single one on eBay or elsewhere. Street price about $250 plus shipping and tax, if any.

Total package price, assuming about $40 shipping for each element: $1,170. That would leave enough money left over for decent wires (Canare S8 star quad would probably be just fine in this application for about 20 cents a foot, go to www.markertek.com) and interconnects.

I use the N24s as rear speakers and their clarity is very good for the $$$. No bass to speak of (-3 db @ 75 Hz) but the sub will handle all that anyway. I also have the Klipsch ProMedias and the N24s are relatively comparable, but not nearly as bright and "screechy" at high volumes.

Hope this helps.
