Ctn, I would stay away from Yamaha speakers. I don't know these Gale speakers you mentioned, but for a sub, the Hsu Research VTF2 has received much praise and retails for about $460 (I think). Again, I don't know the personally -- I just have a stereo bookshelf system -- the Axiom Millenia M3Ti bookshelf speakers ($235 shipped for the pair) hooked up to my Creek 5250 integrated amp.

DanG: Generally you're right about Yamaha speakers, but sometimes they also have reasonably good ones - the MS-G40MkII for example, or their newer NS-line including the NS-100 and NS-200. And their subwoofers are in fact quite nice for the price, too...
