That's the amount I would guesstimate I would have to spend.. I am waiting for more replies before making a decision. Thanks though, you really helped

So you plan on using the Haydn's right? If you have the proper space go for it - you will notice a difference. What are you using for a receiver/or pre/pro/amp combination?

Edit: I see you are using an Onkyo 605 - I would forgo the Haydn's and get a receiver or amp/pre-amp combination worthy of your speakers. You should be looking at something like the Marantz 8002 or the Pioneer Elites, or a Integra 9.8 prepro with an Outlaw amp.
