Hi!

Right, I've learnt a bit from talking to friends and their
experiences.
 MI> Secondly, you won't likely find "good" speakers for $90, period.
I've noticed that, the brand definatly matters with speakers, I was
under the impression it wouldn't make much of a diff before.

I will be spending a few hundred, I would say I don't wanna go over
$600aus, I hope I can pick up a nice system for that.

Ahh, yep, I didn't notice you were in Canada.  I've looked around
locally and am slowly working out who's cheap and who's not that
cheap.
