Need help on HT speaker system


Have a B&K AVR505 A/V Receiver. My TV is a Samsung 61" DLP projection HDTV. Need help on speakers and what else I might need for this system. I love music and my husband loves TV and movies. I have only one room and want something that sounds great with both music and movies. My budget is anything around $2,500.00. Any suggestions?

Paradigm speakers all the way. You will also need good interconnects and speaker wire, and there are too many options for 1 person to name, but your Paradigm dealer can help.

I'd recommend you stick with their reference line for the front 3 speakers. The Studio 40s or 60s for mains, and CC470 for center channel. You might be able to get away with one of their 'lower' line subwoofers and I'd definitly buy someting like the Mini Monitor or Monitor 3 for the rears. Doing that should keep you within or close to budget, and have great quality for music and movies.

m- (I'm in no way associated with Paradigm; I just think they make good stuff for the money)
I am jealous!! I have a B&K 7 channel amp and the Ref30, driving Snell XA75's and SR5's for rear channel. All I'm missing is the big format tv. How do you like the Samsung?
I second the Paradigm recommendation. If you don't mind buying "previously loved" speakers, you can snag a set of Studio 80s or 100s for the front L/R, a Studio CC for the center (matches better to the fronts than the CC450), and some Studio 20s or the dipoles for the rears. IMHO, the Studio 80s & 100s do not need a subwoofer, they do a fine job on the bottom end.

Take a look on this site, you'll find everything you need for less than $2500....
