Default Home Theater Speaker System Help

I am looking for a matched 5 speaker system to go alone with my Definitive sub. Not a high end unit, so priced below $1500.00. This is for a home theater setup in a medium sized room. Any after Christmas deals out there? Any help would be appreciated.

Default I Know of at least a dozen companies with excellent systems for that price..

Of names I can immediately remember off the top of my head, Def Tech and Energy are two. Boston as well, Klipsch, Infinity and many many others.

I suggest you ask/search around on www.hometheaterforum.com about it. The type of power you are putting out from your amp/receiver can effect the speakers you choose.

Default Check out Paradigm Mini-monitors with the CC-350 center channel...

they are matched with the same woofers and tweeters... sound very nice for music and movies, and are very affordable.

Default A millon choices...

I bought a set of surrounds to complete my HT about 3 years ago. The front speakers are custom built high end audio stuff. Too good to let go but nothing existed for matching surrounds.

After a lot of listening and disapointments I ended up with a pair of Atlantic Technologies surrounds. They came pretty close to the balanced sound I like from the main speakers.

By the way, I dont use a center speaker...no need...the main speakers image wall to wall and all the way to the horizon on their own. I modified the processor to redirect the center to the mains (yes I know phantom center is an option but dts doesnt support it and so neither do the processors that adhere to the dts implementation rules).

Default agree Paradigm's are solid, also look at NHT and PSB speakers
