I have a budget of around $2500 for the 5 speakers of the 5.1 system, I already have a Sub in mind (SVS PB13 Ultra or PB12-plus) that are not a part of the $2500 budget. I am powering the speakers with the Onkyo 1007 per all of your wonderful reviews and reports. I plan on adding heights in the future, but not including these in the budget either. My needs:
1) movies (bluray via ps3)
2) music (I'm a musician and love to listen like i am there)
3) HDTV (love me some football/hockey/rugby/curling....i dont really care, it's in HD )
3) large viewing area (19x20 with 15 foot vaulted ceilings) i know it's not ideal and will probably make a "theater" once we finish the basement, but I would like the system to fill what i have now)
I've been eyeing the polk RTi a9's with CSiA'6 centers and A3 rear surrounds, as they seem to fit the budget almost perfectly. What other setups should I be looking to audition? Im not sure how many high end speakers I will actually get to listen to, as I just moved to the milwaukee area and am still looking for places with quality stuffs, the local Bestbuys are driving any bargains today.
Your input is appreciated in advance.
