On my quest to find good quality speakers + receiver for a friend of mine, I found this. Very good reviews, free shipping, and an authorized Onkyo dealer too, so you get the full 2-year warranty. Usually the receiver and speakers separately sell for $300 each, and free shipping for such big and heavy items is hard to come by.

You have to call or email them to get this price.

Go to shoponkyo.com to get "like new" refurbished.
They have the HT-S650 listed.

I just got the TX-SR600 receiver for around $300 shipped.
Great receiver. I'm thinking about getting the speaker set.

Keep checking at soundcity, they often have 13% off sales. (Like once a month) and you can get them there for about 430$.

If you're serious about buying these speakers, then wait! They go on sale at Soundcity like a few times per month @ $434 shipped

Onkyo HTIB @ Soundcity (bookmark this page and just check back periodically :))

Thanks for the SoundCity link. I may wait for their sale, although my friend is getting impatient :) I it will be about $25 difference anyway.

These are always $499 with free shipping from Circuitcity.com.

I bought mine 2 months ago when they had a rebate and free $30 GC offer + $100 back from MSN Wallet on them.

They are awesome!

Yes, they are $499 at Circuit City right now, but they charge tax. A tax on $500 is heafty $40 for me :) Of course, with rebate and MSN must have been an awesome deal :) I just started looking for them very recently.

I've got these speakers with the Tx-SR500 receiver and I highly recommend them. Eventually, I want to upgrade the reciever to a SR600 but for now, the 500 does the job fine. The speakers sound fantastic.
