Denon S710W ($250), it handles HDR, has Audyssey Bronze, and ARC (the S510BT doesn't have those, so get that if you don't care).

Pioneer FS52 ($90x2, if you have Prime)

BIC Venturi 10" ($170).

If you have a subwoofer, I personally don't think towers are worth it, besides aesthetics. Amazon sells the bookshelf version of those towers for half the price ($90 for the pair). So you could go that way to save money, or get better bookshelves and/or a better sub.

Or, if you don't care about future expandability, you can get a real nice pair of powered monitors with a sub out, bypassing the need for a receiver. Such as the new Kanto YU6 for $390 (available in many colors) + either the BIC F12 ($215) or the Dayton 15" ($200).

On sale, Polk Audio Signature S20 $260 or or S15 $160.

Wavecrest Audio HVL-1, order on sale here at Ascend $80 each + shipping. A "budget Ascend". To me, comparable to the popular KEF Q100 when they were on clearance.

Philharmonic AAPM $290 + shipping. (14 day in home trial). They have a newly upgraded tweeter and have one of the best low ends of 6.5" speakers in the price range and don't necessarily need a subwoofer for music.

I'm in a very similar situation right now. Here's what I've been looking at.

These guys are generally well reviewed and get a lot of praise on various Reddit forums: https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R-15PM-Powered-Monitor-Cherry/dp/B072M34NBW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1518194084&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=klipsch+bookshelf+speakers+powered

I wanted those but my fiance vetoed them on aesthetic ground so I'm probably gonna go with these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAQI236/ref=sr_1_1_twi_col_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1518194329&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=kanto+yu6

Kanto's a newer company so they don't have quite the reputation Klipsch has but they seem to be well reviewed.
