I'd say either the Energy or the Harman Kardon. I have the Harman setup(the older version, but same specs) and it sounds great. The sub is a heck of a performer at this price range. Although I haven't heard the Energy setup its one of the most praised entry level setups around by both users and professional reviewers. The Polk setup also gets a lot of praise, but I've heard it and the center and sub are lacking. On the other hand it can be had for around $200 and its easy to upgrade.

Energy 5.1 for what you have listed there would be the ideal choice if you ask me. But I would choose a different route even if it meant waiting longer to just buy everything individual at different times so then your final result is your much happier. Just my .02

+1....if you knew how they were made, you probably would not have mentioned them.

Actually, I voted Polk RM6750, but I'm liking the Energy Take Classic series more and more lately.
