help on speaker choice? (1 Viewer)

[eric-l]

I was interested in getting a new home theater system for my living room which is fairly large (its open to the dining room and the kitchen). So far, I will probably get a Harmon Kardon AVR 325 or 330. For the sub, I will be building a tempest sonosub.

I need help on a set of speakers for this system. I would like to keep it within $600-700 for all five speakers. Are there any sets you would recommend? I like the speakers to have strong mids. I am thinking that I don't need huge front speakers since I'll have the sub to take care of the bass. Are the Fluance speakers any good? (seeing that they're so cheap). Or should I just get like a set of NHT's all around?

The cheapest NHT's would break your budget, wouldnt they?
I like my Fluance Sv10's... i couldnt begin to try to describe there sound, although i do have some detailed pics of them on my homepage.

How about some Level 3 speakers (4 bookshelves and a center) for under $600:

Add 4 stands for about $80-$100/pair:

Or, some B-stock ELTs for $725:

Not sure if they will exclude the sub or not, but it's worth calling about.
