Need Recommendations On Surround Speaker Package

Somebody was selling a Tannoy Mx series surround system on the "Gon. It's what I have for my HT (except I use the Mx4's for front R/L and an Art of Sound Sub) speakers and I've yet to find anything even close that wouldn't cost 3-4 times what the Tannoys cost. Even a couple of years ago and including the Mx4's, I think the total was about $1500 new.

too vague...need more info!
This is EXACTLY WHY people end up with serious sonic compromise, and mediocre to poor sound at best most often!...they simply want to know "what's the best speakers at a given budget?" Well what the best speakers are is all relative to OTHER VARIABLES, yes!
There's not only a gillion options, but you're not filling in info on room size, acoustic considerations, seating/placment limitations(if any...and there almost always is), finish preferences(if any), floor standing or bookshelf (as some prefer floor for music if need be), etc.
Also, if you're into music on the system, what's your listening habbits and prefernces?
let us know

Exertfluffer,

I saw a short video on that "Comcast on demand". It was a clip about Fluffers in the adult film industry.

Short but entertaining. Not sure if that is what yer handle derives from though.

Anyways, i thought of you when i saw it.

You can get 2 pairs of those Magnepan-on walls(MMGw), the matching center channel(MMGc), and a pair of Outlaw LFM-1 subs. for 2k.

Then you can write a detailed review about them so we can hear an opinion not swayed by advertising dollars.

I second slappy's magnepan recommendation. Maggies and Adcom should be dynamic as all hell. Highly recommended for the dollar. Ditto on Exertfluffer's handle. For some reason, that comes to my mind everytime I see him, weird huh? Speaking of Exertfluffer, I must not have ever heard one of those truly dynamic music/HT demos. In this, I think all of the high-end dealer and shows I gone to have beena failure. You would think one outfit would be able to manage a demo like that! Quite a shame. As far as passive speaker setups for HT go, I like Magnepan fed by Krell amps. Explosive dynamics, IMO. But Adcom would be close enough in this case, although less forgiving than even old Krell KAV series.
