I have a smallish room, measuring roughly 12' x 12'. After getting some advice around the boards here, I am definitely looking for some really good bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I just bought a 50" Pioneer Kuro PRO-111FD plasma for my bedroom, so I want speakers of like-quality to compliment it. I don't feel I need anything ultra-high end given my space limitations, but I'm not looking to get anything crappy either.
I have an idea about where I might want to go for the front three channels; let me know what y'all think: I'm considering Paradigm Studio 20s for the fronts and a Paradigm CC-590 for the center channel. As far as surrounds go, I see a lot of people seem to like the ADP-590s, but from what I've read on the pricing of those speakers, they cost about as much as the fronts. I don't know if I'd like to spend so much for the rears, so does anyone have any other suggestions for some good but lesser-priced surrounds? Or are the ADPs the best way to go given the fronts I'm considering?
The subwoofer is another thing I need to consider. I don't feel I need anything super powerful (like the SVS PB13 everyone around here seems to love so much) given the space of the room. Again, I want something of good quality and will pay a reasonable price for it, but I don't want overkill. Some of the lower end subwoofers from Elemental Design seem like a good quality sub for a good price. I'm not sure. What would be a good subwoofer to match the setup I'm considering?
I'm kind of just looking for advice as this point. Given my room measurements, am I going in the right direction given the products I'm considering? Is it overkill? Not enough? Are there any other brand recommendations? I was actually really considering the Polk LSi7s as well. How do most people rate those against the Studio 20s? I'll pretty much be using these speakers only for the purpose of watching Blu-ray movies and TV. I'll be hooking them into an Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver. Speaking of which, would an amp be recommended with the speakers I'm leaning towards or will the AVR alone be able to power the speakers sufficiently? Anyway, I'd love some advice to help me fill in the gaps in my thought process. Thanks.
