The system I am looking at comes with a sub

Have you considered different systems, then?

Not trying to take you away from the Energy's, but just do a bunch of research. It's half the fun of investing in AV equipment. I take months doing research for the most part.

FYI, your system went at low as $269.79 back in July, and your refurb receiver was $369.99 less than a month ago.

Mounted my new rear speakers. Nothing too fancy, but the mounts are nice. Found them on Amazon for I think $35 for the pair.

And I can't remember if I ever posted my crappy DIY TV stand

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a bluetooth speaker to connect to my phone for Spotify/Pandora?

It doesn't need to be anything fancy. I just want to enjoy some music while I'm grilling.

I got a Hydra Photive from Amazon and it's great. It's waterproof and sounds good. The battery life is amazing too. I seriously charge it once every 10 days and I use it everyday.

So yesterday I plucked these two amps from my uncle's house (one was my dad's, the other was given away)



and today, I got tipped (yes tipped) these two beauts.

I've been meaning to comment on this, but I just wanted to say this little speaker is pretty awesome.

I had it playing all Memorial Day weekend. Even had it out in the rain and it sounded great the whole weekend. The manual says 10 hours of playback, but I know I've had it on for longer than that after the initial charge.

Awesome recommendation.
