Need to select a pair of main speakers for HT

what is your budget and is music playback as important as HT?

If this is for theater, the center channel is quite important. You really need it to match the right and left sonically. Vintage speakers won't do this for you unless you can find three matching speakers.

Audiofreakgeek,
My budget is around $2000. But I like to keep it as less as possible (probably around $1000). I will use them for music playback probably for 25%, and HT 75%. My music choices are Jazz, Rock, Pop, Country, Classical, etc.

Bob_reynolds,
I really want to avoid a subwoofer if possible. The reason being: It takes up additional space, additonal cost for a good sub, headache of matching with the mains, additional cables, etc. Not to mention of an additional amp for a passive subwoofer. I may have to go into that route, but that will be my last option. If two mains give out moderately good amount of bass, I will be happy. I think T6 is out of my budget.

Elevick,
I was considering vintage to keep the overall cost minimum and there are some really good speakers out there among the vintage ones. Moreover if the whole project fails I will not loose too much.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will appreciate more ideas.
Best regards.
Sunny
