I'm looking to get decent 5.1 HTS & have found that I can get the Energy Act 6 for around $200 delivered or the BA Horizon MCS100 for the same price. Does anyone have either of these and if so, can you please provide your opinions on either one? I believe the Energy speakers have an $840 list price and the ones from BA list for $600. So, for around $200, I do not know of anything else out there that can compete. Links are below if needed.

leaning towards the boston acoustics. where did you find the energy's?

I found the Act6 on Ebay. I was thinking about the Polk RM6750 setup as well. It's hard to decide, but I think the Act6 may be better. I like that they are not plastic as well!

i agree. went to frys electronics (aka outpost.com) on Friday to pick up the Polks for $150 but within the 20 minutes I waited at the CSR desk they sold the last pair. Debating between the Boston Acoustics and Energy's as well. Let me know how it goes. Good Luck!

What got me was this, read how the reviewer really liked it compared to the HSU and JBL:

Then of course the sweet deal from an auth. distributor made me use my PayPal key once again :)

I am going to team it up with a Panny SA-XR70 to service my new 46" LCD.
