    Help: choosing speakers and your opinion on my other choices

    Are you using a receiver/amp to drive the (passive/traditional) speakers or do you actually need active/powered speakers (that might even need to be Airplay/etc and/or Bluetooth-capable?) or the like?

Onkyo has gone downhill over the past decade and probably was a tad below Denon for quality, probably particularly reliability, all along anyway. Having said that, I don't actually use AVR myself -- I'd much...
