HELP......What would be the best all around 7.1 set-up to get for speakers?

[mr.hidef]

O.K........I must swallow my pride(there wasn't that much there to begin with),and turn to my fellow forum brothers,for advice. I want to get new speakers,but i am so confused as to wich brand to get. I love the klipsch,Paradigm's, and the Polks seem real nice. I want speakers that put out excellent response and soundfield, but I'm so torn between them all. Martin Logans sound incredible, but I can't afford them. Any hints on what to look for? I have the Bose Acoustimass 16 series set-up now (please NO bashing, I've heard it all before), and they sound really nice, but I'm learning that I am missing out on the "whole" sound field..........I would like to use smaller speakers if I can get away with that.I heard the Anthony Gallo's, and to me they sound better than the Bose, but still seem shallow, and lack the "fullness" of floor standing speakers.What I don't want to do is buy new speakers, and realize weeks later, that I made a bad choice.I always give advice to others, to listen for themselves, but I thought this time I would take the advice from people who know more than I do, or have experienced "first hand" what these new generation of theater speakers are like. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. .......Thanx all
