I currently have an old surround sound system and am looking to upgrade everything to accompany my new tv and ps3. I have been reading the forums for the past few days trying to narrow down my choices and need a little bit of help :confused:

Budget
A/V Receiver: £400-700 ($600-1000)
Front speakers: £400-700 ($600-1000)
Center speaker: £400 ($600)
Rear speakers: £300 ($460)
Sub: £400 ($600)

Current choices
A/V Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR805
Front speakers: KEF iQ7SE? or Monitor Audio Bronze BR5/6 or DALI Ikon 5/ DALI Lektor 6
Center speaker: KEF iQ60c?
Rear speakers: ?
Sub: MJ Acoustics Pro 50 Mk2

My list is a little incomplete and i need help in choosing some speakers. I will be using the system for games, movies and music. I am open to all suggestions regarding any part of the setup and am grateful for any help, thank you. :)

I would use speakers from the same manufacturers' line if possible for all fronts and surrounds. At least they will be more closely 'voiced' for use with music and movies.

Do you have access to Paradigm or PSB speakers too.
