Need advice on speakers - Blu-ray Forum

jhansla · 11-18-2008, 06:27 PM

I'm moving into my new home soon and I am looking to get a home theater set up.

I am looking for a nice surround sound set up, which will go well with the decor. I was looking at the white bose acoustimass 10, but after reading all the negative reviews I'm starting to look elsewhere.

I'll have 2 speakers in the rear, 3 in the front. All need to be ceiling mountable as the home builder is pre-wiring the room.

Basically I am looking for something small, with great sound but have no idea where to start.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the Klipsch Quintet III they can be mounted on the wall and they are a smaller size then most but not as small as the bose and I really like the sound of them

I will focus on your statement "trying" ! When I was out shopping I listened to this set up in another dealer in town. They really sounded good! I know they are out of your stated budget. But........................
