A colleague wants to find speakers for a 5.1 system, and he asked me for some advice. Although I want to steer him to Outlaw, he only wants to spend between $1500 and $2000 all in for 5 speakers and a subwoofer (and I know he wants to stay closer to $1500). I know this is probably a tough question for the Outlaws, but I thought I would check with the Outlaws to try to help my colleague find the best speakers for the buck based on the following additional criteria:

1. Legitimate and reputable internet source is fine, although an authorized dealer is not a requirement (and this is a side question how can (or why is) a legitimate and reputable source not necessarily an authorized dealer?).

2. No time nor inclination to audition speakers (we will trust the Outlaws).

3. 2 fronts must be in-wall, center must be a bookshelf, 2 back surrounds must be in-wall, and a subwoofer (I believe the fronts and surrounds should match cosmetically, but the fronts can (should) be better quality than the surrounds and the fronts should be fairly matched with the center).

4. The system will be powered by a receiver (I am trying to talk him into the Newcastle P-965 currently offered by Outlaw with a 7075, but he is balking a little on the price and "old" technology!---he definitely is not an audiophile and does not appreciate (at least not yet) that the P-965 with a correct BlueRay player will be able to give him all the sound options possible even with the "old" technoligy).

That is about it. Thanks in advance.
