Speaker help in purchase.

[Automission]

So I'm going speaker shopping monday, and need a little help. Can you point out of this product list, which speakers are good quality and which are known to be avoided?

Unfortunately there are no prices, so don't take price into account. Further more, should I be looking to buy the Hi-Fi speakers or the dedicated Home Cinema speakers?

These will all be paired with an Onkyo 606.

Everythings good in the Hi-Fi speakers (just avoid the TEAC speakers). Everything is good in the cinema speakers (avoid the Yamaha soundbar stuff). This store is a no brainer - whatever you choose, just about, is an absolute winner - whats your budget?

£1000 Great British pounds. Needing complete 5.1, I was looking at front floor standers, rear book shelves and whatever is best in Subs and Centre. Unless I am of course persuaded otherwise.
Thanks for the help so far too! So which would you advise I look at though, Hi fi or Cinema speakers? The Hi fi range do seem to have a better selection.

Look at the Hi-Fi and build a system from there. Some of the same speakers are in the cinema section - B&W, Kef, Monitor Audio, Dali - all excellent brands!!!! Listen to the best ones of each brand - find the sound that you like the best - and then, from your budget - get the speakers that sound the most like your reference (within your budget)!

Anyone else got any advice on which speakers to avoid out of their catalogue?

In my opinion the top 4 are B&W, Monitor Audio, Dali and KEF, find something from one of those.
