What I want - decent home theater set up for a rectangular 15' by 22' room. What I got - a Cambridge Sound Works Ensemble III speakers (un-used and a gift) and a passable TV.Option 1 - Return the Ensemble III speakers for around ($200) and put the credit toward the Megaworks 510 system ($850).
Option 2 - Live with the speakers (not my first choice of speakers) and invest around $650 in a receiver and DVD Player. Upgrade speakers at some point in the future.
Any suggestions on which option and if option 2 then which receiver and dvd player.
Thanks.

A great picture can make marginal audio bearable, but good audio can do nothing for a lousy picture.Good DVD players are $100-125 bucks these days, and I've seen decent A/V receivers (Yamaha, Pioneer and JLB models in both 5.1 AND 6.1) for as little as $225-250 on eCost.
I think there are better buys for your buck than Cambridge, including Paradigm's Cinema series, Energy's Take 2, and (my personal low-budget favorite, excellent quality for the $$$) JBL's NSP-1 set.
With component prices coming down, cheap Chinese manufacturing costs, and a weak consumer economy, it's a buyer's market right now.
Speakers are always the last part of the chain. Get the best source (DVD, reciever) you can.
