I'm not sure if your budget is for speakers only, or speakers, and receiver? But these are a few excellent speaker manufactures that are highly recommended. AV123.com - Home (Budget speakers only Rocket series. Speakers and Receiver X-Series.) SVSound - Home (The SBS-01 system is an...

It may be "Your Pet Peeve" but IMO the OP gets 100% better sound quality, and performance over the Polk's for 40% more. :eek:

With every HT system it's all in the proper placement and proper calibration of the speakers.

Do you have $300 more bucks? This is an excellent budget HT system. SVSound - Complete Systems

This is an unfair comparison in subwoofers. The SVS Ultra is in a class of it's own, and competes with subwoofers costing thousands. The MFW-15 is an excellent performer but not close to the SVS Ultra. And that point system is from Craigsub. It is his own personal point system and not an...

You state "Higher Quality" then say "$200 a pair". These two don't go together sorry. And HTD products are not ever close to High Quality. Speakercraft Niles Audio Corporation

That SVS speaker package is IMO one of the best in that price range. IMO it will be very hard to beat it's performance vs. price. IMO you have found your system. SVSound - Complete Systems Polk Atrium Series Outdoor Applications : Polk Audio Niles Audio Niles Audio Corporation

I would PM Jess Quintana, and see if the AV123 x-cs speakers are still available. Classic X-series Closeout!!!! - AV123.com Forum

IMO words can't describe how good these speakers are. Well maybe these--"Exceeding Expectations." All the hype about the tweeter SVS used, well it's all true.

If sound has to travel 10' for the listening area. With proper speaker positioning and calibration, what is the difference from which direction it travels? Yes it's harder to do with in-ceilings, but not impossible as you would have others believe.

When you toe-in and angle your main speaker to the seating position you are in fact doing that same thing by creating the effect. Just because you have never experienced a good in-ceiling system does not mean it can't be done.

This statement is totally not true. There are speakers on the market that do an excellent job of creating the effect of the sound coming from the screen. Speakercraft AIM series Speakercraft Triad Triad | Products | InCeiling Silver/6 Monitor Snell Acoustics Snell Acoustics |...

Try asking this question over on the AVS forum. You should get a lot more feedback. AVS Forum Both Jon Lane from The Audio Insider, and Mark L. Schifter from AV123 produce an excellent, quality speaker.

A little better? SVS finishes IMO are a lot better.
