Jay,

Many satelight/sub combinations can do an exceptional job of 2 channel reproduction.

I'm a dedicated paradigm man myself. And their full HT systems range from $800-$3000 for a full system with a sub. Reccomended Systems . I am more than satisfied with their speakers...Heck you can check out This site in regards to their factory and manufacturing processes.

Just to assure you, I dont work for paradigm, I'm just a VERY loyal customer who enjoys their products immensly.
