Which speakers to buy???

[Stereo99]

I am thinking of getting either the Kef's Q950's,large center,Q150's for surrounds,or getting the Martin Logan new Foundation F2's with matching center & surrounds..this system will be placed in a room that is 10.5 wide by 20.5 ft deep with 8' ft ceiling,driven by a Onkyo RZ 70 avr. Using a Paradigm DSP 3100 subwoofer for now. Wondering if those 2 choices are good ones?The store has a 30 return/exchange policy so no risk to me.For movies(40%),Music (60%)? But open to other speakers too....keep it in the 4k area of prices?? I live in Canada so that does limit me somewhat Thanks for the feedback in advance

Any chance you can listen to the speakers in person? A lot of times, "hearing is believing" when it comes to speakers, no two are alike in their sound and sonic signature. When it comes to subwoofers, they are very "room dependent" on their performance, so placement is actually of more importance than what type you have, so if you are happy now, than you'll be fine.

Did you consider Ascend Acoustics? That's what I would have recommended if I'd seen this in time. I try to stay away from high priced offshored stuff like KEF and ML.
