Hi All,
I've been posting this on couple of forums only to get a lukewarm response. And probably this forum will be my last resort
Here's my story...I am visiting US and the last time I was here I took home a Pioneer 21TXH and I tend to buy when I have budget on hand and during this visit I intend to take home a nice set of speakers.

Initially, i had narrowed down to Klipsch Quintet III and Polk RM85's..After reading couple of forums and deals on Vann's...Jamo and Energy started coming into frame mainly due to the deals...I've always known Jamo to be a very good product.

That apart, some details here....my HT is about 120sq.ft, regulary watch action/thrillers/animation/war movies with music tastes leaning more towards Heavy Metal. Budget for speakers is between $500 - $600.

I am only looking at 5.0 set-up as carrying a subwoofer would be a constraint due to it's weight. I plan to buy Sub when i get back home.

So, my request here is to please advise a speaker set-up which will compliment my receiver, my tastes and budget....Mix and match of speakers from diff companies is also fine by or a 5.0 set-up from a single company is also.
I am heavily leaning on this forum to guide me since I am a novoice and after 4 weeks I am gone

I would surely want to avoid taking Floorstanding speakers too...reason being is for it's weight...

Thx in advance

Are you looking for a 5.1 system?
Check out HSU Research. '
They'll sell you the works including a very nice, but small and real sub.

Something like this is where you're headed.
The sub should last thru at least 1 upgrade cycle.

Speakers only will save maybe 50 or 100$
