 It IS a tough question. I am, right now auditioning a set of rear loaded horns that I built. Should be plug and play, right? I know better and have several drivers to try out in the enclosures. Even though I like the sound of the horn in general, it will require auditioning. 
 In short, I gone for the build it yourself concept over the decades because of what you can save in price and shipping.

Find somewhere to hear the Paradigm Premier line.  $3K for their biggest floorstanders and their biggest CC...inclusive!  And they are one of the few companies that use vertically aligned TW/MR on their center channels, which is key for good dialog and blending with the L/Rs.  Their smaller kit is $2400 for all 3.  I use their SE-1 and SE Center from a a few years back, and I am totally happy with them...for HT.

Depending on your room size, I would suggest an in home demo of Ohm Walsh towers and center.  I have the 2000s and a matching center.  For over 10 years now, I have enjoyed them and have no interest in trying other speakers.  YMMV, of course, but I think they are an amazing value.
