Can some folks post some makes/models of surround speakers? I will shop for front two later, but want to grab a few pair for rear and sides and am looking for suggestions. In wall or satellite.
I dont want to say no budget, but please, priced within reason. I am just surfing at this point.

5.1 or 7.1 I would go with B&W 600 line you can get the 5.1 for about $2500.

I was just perusing the B & W's. Joseph Audio was also recommended as well as Vandersteens. Thanks and +T for the reply.

I'm no help, just posting to watch the thread. I've gone multi-generational for the time being-
My 80's Infinitys up front, my fathers 70's Yamahas on the sides and my grandfather's 60's Warfdales in back. It's like a time-warp.

Adding Definitive Technology ProCinema series to my searches.

Just brainstorming:
Gallo nucleus micro's
Paradigm monitors or the ADP for a dipolar surround
PSB (alpha)
-
I did look at some PSB and Paradigm stuff earlier. I like brainstorming. Feel free to type out loud.
The Gallo's are new to me. I also looked at some nice Speakercraft in-walls.
Running sketches past the warden tonight to see what she thinks about some of the ideas and to hash out a budget.
I need to get into a showroom and audition some of this stuff.

I have Epos in my home theater set up and have been very pleased. If you're seriously considering in-walls, perhaps look into B&W.

I have older NHT's (2.5i and matching center) and was looking at the B & W's and Paradigm. Like mic's the only way to really buy is to listen for what you like and listen too. Many shops offer a buy and try/trade in and I did that. They always sound different in your house than the floor of the store.
I am very happy with my speakers and listen to a lot of acoustic, bluegrass, Grateful Dead, etc. The thing I have found is the accuracy, sound stage and seperation improve with $ spent. Hmmmm, this sight has taught me that about mics as well.
I am looking to improving my amp and pre for home theater and music. Given the diversity here I would love to hear more on what folks are doing in this area as well.
All the best,
Tim
