i just got the Denon AVR-2802 receiver, which everyone tells me is a great piece of equipment. now i just need a speaker set up to go with it. if possible, i'd like to keep the cost right around $1000. what do you all recommend?
i was looking at the R30 and R50 systems at polkaudio.com and they look pretty good. i really like the idea of having floor speakers as my mains, because i'm a huge music fan. it was also recommended that if i go with one of those Polk systems, that i should step the Center up to the CSi30, and maybe bump the receiver up as well, although i don't know if i need THAT much bass. i also want to check out Paradigm...do they have good speaker "packages" or set ups for around $1,000?
the only thing that makes me hesitant about those systems is that all the promotion info emphasizes that it's a "loud" system, and that it can be "turned way up." volume isn't my main priority (although it is a factor). i'm really into getting a rich, full, clear sound. should i shell out the extra bucks for the RTi28 system....even though the mains aren't floors?
