I was looking around at some speakers just for my bedroom that hooked into the Rio Receiver... Looked at some small micro systems but found that all I needed was some powered speakers. I came across some computer speakers from Klipsch, the ProMedai 2.1 (THX certified). They're simply awesome. 2 sats with a subwoofer. I picked mine up on sale for about $159 at Best Buy.

I loved them so much that I bought another Rio (my third) and a set of 4.1 ProMedia Speakers (close-out at $199) for my living room just for some background music. I couldn't be happier with a stand alone system. (4 sats and a subwoofer)

Enjoy!
