Uniballer,

First thing first, I would stay away from the typical chain stores like circuit city, best buys, rex and the like when deciding on speakers. Also be very careful with HT packages.

If I was you, find out where there are dedicated HiFi stores in your area and go and audition speakers there. You won't find Paradigms, B&W's, Mission, and others in circuit city but will in a HiFi store.

Personally, I have built my speaker system. Started with the fronts then came sub � Center � Rears.

As mentioned, try out the B&W's 303's. It really all depends on how much you budget. If you have $500 to spend on speakers, consider the B&W 602's. Very nice speaker for the money.

BTW, stay away from bose.
