i have a high end harmon kardon home system

when i purchased it i bought top of the line speakers

we had a flood and they needed to be replaced. i took a chance and ordered from here and can tell you they are well worth the money. i cannot tell the difference with the ones i bought from them and high dollar DCM speaqkers they replaced

i can also tell you that someone there will answer questions. i had several.

the shipping is superior they took extra precautions to make sure that they were packed well enough for shipping without incident

Audiopro is the brand the makes cheap home theater speakers. Don't know if it works in the states, it's swedish brand.

I bought Yamaha NSP60 for my home theater, had center and surround speakers (~€200) and hame Baltek audio front speakers (used, paid ~€150).

Some highendist might say I have crappy speakers, but I don't hear the difference. Paying ~€1000 for a pair isn't something I'm willing to do, even if the sound was slightly better.

You can get a set of Polk Audio or lower end Infinitys for that price. Don't skimp when it comes to the speakers. Trust me.

I purchased a pair of Dahlquist Profile speakers for my surrounds. I got them thru Ubid, so I don't realy know what the retail is on them, but they were worth every cent I paid for them. I think I paid about $250 for them, but I can't remember right now.
But I agree, don't skimp on the speakers.

I think Klipsch 5.1 is $399 and the 4.1 is $299.

Basically, the *only* difference is that the 5.1 has a center channel, a separate volume/control unit (versus being mounted on a speaker in the 4.1) and a more powerful sub

If you want the best, don't go with anything but Klipsch
