Newbie Help with Speaker Choices

Hello,

I recently purchased a home that was wired with a crestron system and 2 x 5.1 home theater zones (Living Room & Master Bedroom).

The entire system was removed and I building a new system from scratch.

I am looking to put free-standing Front L/R speakers in the Living room setup plus in-wall/ceiling speakers and in-ceiling/wall speakers for the rest of the house (Master Bedroom 5.1 & 1 indoor zone and 1 outdoor zone)and surface mounted outdoor speakers for the roof deck.

I am leaning towards the Marantz Av8003 with MM8003 amp to power the whole house.

Any suggestions for speakers and subs to fit in about a $5000 speaker budget would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tip LoomisJ.!!!
I picked up 3 veritas 2.3's for LCR and 1.0's for the rears in the bedroom 5.1 arrangement.

Any subs you can recommend with the veritas.?

I just heard some terrific speakers that might be suitable. They are bigger than monitors and smaller than floor standers. VMPS 626. Check out the reviews.

rancher--glad you got the energys and hope you enjoy them. for a sub, i'd buy a hsu stf--very musical and very good value at around $300--if you call them to order they'll generally knock off a few bucks.
