Home Theater Speakers on a Budget

Hi Everyone,

New to the forums.  I am in the market for some home theater speakers.  I currently have the Sony Bravia HTIB hooked up to my Mitsubishi 60737 (Beast) and Onkyo SR 507 Receiver.  Pretty weak.  I am on a budget, so I want to keep it around $500-600.  The room is 15x12.  I'd like to get a 5.1 system with Floorstanding fronts.  I've looked at the Premier Acoustics/Fluance models, and people seem to be pretty hesitant about them on other forums.  Anyone have any recommendations for a nice speaker system/component speakers that would make for a solid home theater system given the TV and Receiver?  Opinions on Fluance / Premier Acoustics?  Polk? Other lesser known brands that give you solid perfomance without the price tag would be preferable.  I thought I'd leave this up to the people who are more savvy.


Thanks for all your help.  Look forward to hearing your responses.

Current Setup:

60" Mitsubishi DLP WD-60737 120 hz 1080p
Onkyo SR-507 5.1 HDMI Receiver
Playstation 3 80GB
Sony Bravia HTIB 5.1 (Boo)

For cheap speakers, Fluance is a good choice. A lot of the detractors have not heard them and assume the must be junk (or even White Van) because of the price.  I have heard them and I can say they are decent. Get the top 5.0 package. Again, they are cheap speakers so don't expect miracles....

  Their subs are not that good.  Checkout Dayton at PartsExpress.com for inexpensive subs.

I highly recommend Energy speakers. That's what I use in my theater. Check out the Energy thread at Avsforum.com.

You seriously need to keep these posts in the sales area.  NO setup is BEST for everyone, no matter how slick you the sales person is.  $100 for wiring?  GIMME A BREAK!
