BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE

...I'm a big fan of the KIS principal.  I only add the 2nd S if I think it's deserved.... ;)

Speakers are and will always be the Biggest Modifier of your experience.

Going 'integrated' at the same time inserts another variable into your equation...which, IMHO (millercarbon, please Note..*s*) has already become a whole new one by nature...

Again....MHO....and I'll stand with it.

@tblanka ...Keep the Onk for awhile (I looked up the specs...it's far from 'ghastly', y'all. *S* Stop pushing the bias....), and buy the speakers you Want and Like the sound of....

(Currently that model is $200~350 on eBay....just for reference sake...)

You can use your sub with the 'newbies' and make the call:
Love It....or List It. ;)

Play with your space like all good audi's ought to...right? *G*

THEN (and only when), make the call on 'separates'....and what the budget might cope with. *S*

If the 'home system' can't 'do' NPR on the weekend in my local focal locus....On Demand.....it makes for a 'long weekend' and not necessarily pleasant at times....

As is said:
"Your Results May Vary...."  
I don't know yours...;) *L*
Happy hunting/listening....
