I was thinking about ordering the Wharfedale Zaldek speaker line that Best Buy is currently selling. Problem is the way these speakers are marketed and very little information on them I just can't justify it at this time. They are being marketed as a loud rock and roll PA style speaker. The Zaldek line looks pretty cool and is horn loaded. They might be pretty good and very affordable. But again very little information about the Zaldek line.
I have raised my budget a little and now looking at the Diamond 8 series speakers. I can get them from an online retailer with free shipping.

Only thing I have not decided yet is the surrounds. I preferred bipolar surrounds in the past but they sort of disappeared when 5.1 digital formats came out. They are now making another comeback and some critics say even with 5.1 bipolar is better. With my JBL NSP1 speakers I have now I find the surrounds a little to direct even though it is calibrated at the proper level.
