House got cleaned out. Little time for research and have already spent way too many hours researching replacement camera gear and pro photo monitor. Help narrowing down speaker choice to about 3 candidates would be greatly appreciated.
Don't care about brand name, do care about performance. Like bang for the buck and value. Will be used for home theater, but music far more important.
1. Looking to pay ~2000$ for entire system, receiver, tower speakers, subwoofer and center channel. Surround speakers not stolen. Will one get a better deal buying a system or individual components?
2. Prefer to pay ~500 for a pair of tower speakers. Would pay a few hundred more, but only if there was an immediately obvious sound quality increase, not an incremental improvement you have to strain to hear. Will be in a 22x26 room with wood floors. Eclectic music tastes, but vocals most important, need to hear the nuances in a singer's voice. Had Energy RC30s. Liked them.
3. Had a Polk CS20 center channel speaker. Dialog occasionally indistinct, wouldn't buy it again. What are some good options under $300ish
Thanks in advance!
