Need Recommendations On Surround Speaker Package

Match all your speakers as close as possible. The same brand and model will give you the best results. Most sideways center channels are not designed for proper dispersion. Some speaker manufactures only sell speakers in pairs, so that can be a problem. The 6th speaker could always be used to upgrade to 6.1 later (DolbyEX and DTS ES).

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.
