I need serious help with speakers

I am tired of going to 12 different retailers and hearing this is the best and those other speakers have this problem and these don't. Here is what I have, a B&K Comp AVR 307, 7.1 but I do not have the speakers to match. I have a Denon 2800 DVD. I have heard Jamo, Klipsch Reference Series, Paradigm Studio Series, B&W Series 3, Definitvie Technology, JM Labs Cobalt Series, and Vienna. I think that I have the receiver in place but I want to be able to walk into my theater room and have it be just like the theater up the street if not better. I liked the B&W but I heard them connected to Denon receiver. I liked JM Labs but again connected to a Denon receiver. I really liked the Klipsch too. What do you guys think would be my best bet!!

I agree with Lthkeepr...if your mainly interested in HT, then go with something like Klipsch or Paradigm (I personally like Paradigm over Klipsch...I own the Ref Studio 100s, but the the two models below the 100s also rock). If you lean towards 2 channel, pick up something more refined like JMLabs or B&W.

I agree with Mdomnick. If you want a mix of music and video go with the Paradigms. Also, if you can find the JBL SVA series, they were great for home theatre. I prefer the non metal tweeter sound over the Klipsh. John

I am in your shoes Jamiegisi (except for the B&K that is). I am leaning a little more towards 2-channel, so I am going with the JM Labs cobalts. I watched a couple movies with the dealer on a Saturday (Boy, it sure is nice to find a dealer with a whole lot of time on his hands....went on a Saturday and no one but me came in, listened to music and watched movies all day!) I was really surprised with how well the JM's imaged in 5.1! I also heard them through a Denon AVR4800, and it even sounded good...I would imagine your B&K would sound quite a bit better even.

I'll give a vote for the JM Labs, they are excellent speakers for an excellent price!
