Alright, so I'm looking at spending some money upgrading my surround speakers. I've already upgraded to an actual AV receiver and got a sub a while back.
My current setup is:
Receiver: 735W Sony 7.1 Ch. (STR-DG720)
Subwoofer: Klipsch 12" 650W
Speakers: Cheap Sony ones from a HTIB... not working out too great with everything else
Now what I'm wondering is:
1) Will this setup work good with the equipment I already have?
2) Is it a good system for the money?
3) Will I be able to buy 2 bookshelf speakers (in the future) and use them to make this set a 7.1 surround sound setup?
Cost: $441
$499 MSRP*

*The cost is the total I will pay for these, I have $100 off at Best Buy.
Here are the specs of the system:

Thanks, guys. I hope you can help me out with this, I'm not too intelligent when it comes to audio setups. I'm not in a huge rush to get a system, but I'm hoping to get one within the next two weeks.
And sorry for all my italicized and bold fonts... I think I have OCD in having to make sure everything looks nice and neatly laid out, ha.
